Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse don't work after installing Video Card ?

I installed a Video Card(AGP) in my computer, I put the Monitor into the Video Card. I can smell a little buring smell. And my comp turned off by itself after a few seconds. Then I tried to put the Monitor back onto the regular port. But it didn't work. I then removed the Video Card. And put the mouse, keyboard, speakers, and monitor back onto the regular ports.
But it still didn't work. The tower's power is on(the light is on and fan's moving and this time it didn't turn off) but keyboard's light is flashing and the mouse's light isn't on and the monitor wasn't detected. There were no way to turn off the computer because the mouse, etc. didn't work so I hold the power botton for a few seconds to turn it off.

What should I do? What is wrong with my computer?

My computer is a a720n.

MB:
AMD Athlon 3200+ XP 2.2ghz
Video Card:
It was Integrated Graphics 64mb shared but I disabled it before installing the Video Card.

THANKS !

What is the new vid card, and the only other thing I can say with what info you gave is double check your connections. Does the monitor flash on the off, does the screen light up but not show the desktop, any more info will be helpful.

You fried something(s) but I can't tell what from your description.
This is the sort of deal where you try everything, one part at a time, in another computer.

will it boot in safe mode? I don't think I would put that card in my pc! Not until it was tested some other way.

I don't think Safe mode will help you much. If it is the vid card goofing everything up then it will probably do the same in safe mode. If you don't wan't to take the chance then I guess you need to look at a new vid card. Sorry
