ok it's a little vague on what you did. did you remove your GeforceMX2 and put in the FX5700 and then connect the monitor to the FX5700?

Welcome to PC Mech forums :)

You cannot insert a PCI graphics card into an AGP slot and vice versa if that is what you did...it's physically incapable. If you mean that you inserted the FX5700 PCI into the PCI slot, you would need to change a few settings in the BIOS WHILE you have the GF4MX card connected.

before u swap u need to uninstall the hardware and the software of the old graphics card, like uninstalling the software that came with it and uninstalling the card from device manager, then after that u can do the swap
