I bought a new graphics card. (The old one which fitted into the AGP slot could only get 16 colors)

Anyhow, the new PCI graphics card was slotted into today and I booted up the system (and crossed my fingers)...and sure enough the screen is just black...and to top it all the system just shuts down by itself after two minutes....

I have followed all the instructions that came with it...please help!

system = win 98

Could you post more information about your system, particularly the motherboard details.

If you reset the bios to defaults it should revert to a PCI adaptor.....but if not

Put the AGP card back in and boot up. Uninstall its drivers whilst in windows, power down and remove it. Put the PCI card in and power up, windows should install a default vga driver, then install the driver that came with your card.
