I just built my own computer. I bought a new Radeon video card. When i plug it in and start up the computer, the speaker beeps 4 times and nothing comes up on the monitor. The card is in an AGP bus.

HOWEVER

When I plug in my old pci card from an old computer, the monitor works fine.
The radeon manual says to uninstall old video adapter drivers before installing new card, and install generic VGA adapters. How do i do this while using the old card?
Is this a bios problem?

My system
AMD Athlon 1Ghz
128 pc133 SDRAM
30 GB Maxtor HD
ECS K7VZA mainboard
ACER CDRW
