Personally I would do a fresh install, careful of any custom settings you
do with the install of XP. Download updated drivers for your video card and
SP2 prior if you need them( burn to cd-r) That way these updates can be
done without connecting to the internet without risk of viruses etc. and any
interference with install from AV programs. (ATI recommends removal of AV
from system before install / updates - from tech support)
Note: Before switching video cards in a machine ensure that the previous
cards software and drivers are completely removed prior to install of new
card.
Ensure your motherboard and video card are compatible prior to install.
If the above does not work then maybe you have a hardware issue with
mainboard - unlikely if both pci and AGP cards don't work.
BTW I meant that "are your BIOS settings correct for the type of video card
installed?" not that the BIOS was updated (latest BIOS updates and chipset
drivers are of course a good idea as well).
