That's a wierd problem. Consider making a new thread, as unrelated problems should be separated [many people - like myself - can often only discuss on one issue at a time because they don't know everything]. I don't know what could be wrong here, except maybe a defect AGP interface which is ingnored by windows (the same prob with 3 GFX cards??). I've had bent contacts on a PCI interface once, and devices where unusable on both windows and linux; I managed to bend those back, but it was a hell of fuddling with needles and stuff...

1st 2 is PCI cards ie.req. NORMAL pci slot(not pci -e)(9250 radeon , 5200 geforce), 3rd is AGP (6200 geforce) so it cant b defect in agp/pci interface ,but it is definitely problem related with Graphic card as i am able to install and boot into Linux if i connect monitor to onboard Graphic(intel 845 gv), Yes i can use onboard graphic for linux but switching from Graphic card >onboard every time is kinda ,,,,,. I will nd to change settings in Bios , change Monitor connection from Graphic card to onboard then again bk to graphic card when i using windows >.>
thank u
