The system boots fine with the onboard video, but not with the
nVidia card added, right? Will the system boot Linux from one of the
live CDs, or any other OS with the nVidia card installed? Even
though it should not happen, it could be the card is not compatible
with the motherboard. (Or you may need a BIOS update...) Remember,
there are more then one AGV "standard". (Different speeds, 1.5V and
3.3V cards, etc...)
