Ok, here's the deal: it seems that the AGP port on my motherboard (intel D845BG) died; it was an intermittent problem where the video signal would go out occasionally and then i moved the computer across the room and couldn't get a video signal at all. Switching to a new AGP card did nothing so I tried installing a PCI card (PNY G-Force FX 5500) -- this got me a video signal and everything else on the board seems fine but now i can't get the drivers for the card to install properly. I downloaded the latest drivers from the nvidia site and i changed the BIOS video setting to PCI but after i install the drivers and reboot i get an erorr saying that there was an error installing the hardware drivers. I'm at a loss as to what my next step should be so any advice would be much appreciated.
