In your BIOS there should be a an option somewhere that says something like: "Primary VGA BIOS" and you have the option of setting it to AGP or PCI, you need to set it to PCI. This should fix it, if indeed you have an onboard video card. If not then either you have another card in there or the video card has had it. If you have a video card already in your computer you can either take it out and replace it with the Diamond Stealth, or you can have them both in at the same time. But make sure whatever card you want to be the primary card is in a slot higher (in a tower case) than the other one.
