i got a new nvidia gfx card a while back, but i couldnt use it because my mobo didnt have support for 8x agp, so i went out and bought a cheap mobo made by elitegroup from newegg.com, it has phoenix bios. the mobo got here and i installed it and now im having some wierd problems:

the gfx card is in the agp slot and the monitor plugged into the gfx card, but all that comes up are a bunch of funny colored lines when the comp starts... then it hangs. I tried pulling an old pci gfx card out of another computer(the new mobo doesnt have onboard video) and looking around the bios setup for a way to change it to use 8x agp, but i couldnt find anything.

i let it try to load windows, but windows gives me an error about my hard drive not working and that it stopped loading so it wouldnt cause damage to my system.

so i tried booting up with a livelinux cd(phlak), which works fine(im posting this message with it), but it gives me a strange error when it first starts to load: it says "error: only one processor found".
