Need Help

Hi guys. I have a radeon 9600se card. And i bought a new motherboard and processor(intel). I got everything set up, but my system wont boot up with the vid card. Now my bro has the exact same video card, and i put it in and tried booting up, and it works. Worked with my old geforce card aswell. So i thought the video card maybe died or somthing. So i stuck in in the system with the old motherboard i used to have(the motherboard it was in before). And it booted up fine. Is there anyway that i can get this card to boot up with my new system?
thanks for any help you guys can give

Not sure if this will help, but that happened to me a few years ago when my motherboard had on-board video. If it does you can disable usually with a jumper.

Its wierd that it happens with the same graphics card... there must be a fault somewhere in your one I'd guess? Try using a completely different type of video card a see what happens.

See if your old mobo and your bro has AGP 4X, if your new got 8X, it may be a problem there.

insert your bro's card, go to bios and force AGP 4X.
then insert your card.

if not, try selecting the : safe default setting for your mobo. Or do a mobo-reset.
