Hi have next small problem, installed new video card - installed driver-> disabled on board (video card 'vgs') restarted my pc and screen is blank after boot up. If i presss enter hear how it logs in my windovs xp.
Try safe mode but it stops loging on
" multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\windows\system32\drivers\mup.sys
Any suggestions?
 
Mup.sys is always the last file to show up in the list of an XP Safe Boot so it isn't an indication of your problem. The onboard graphics needs to be re-enabled in BIOS until you're sure you have the proper driver for the new card. To experiment, start the system using that onboard card then try hot swapping the monitor cable from the onboard to the AGP card. Once the latter works, just leave the cable in there - you don't need to disable the onboard; just don't connect to it.

Yes i found my BIOS , tryed enable onbord and then PCIEX still only loads up to WINDOWS xp on sceen and then dispaly goed dark, monitor goes in safe mode and i dont even see my password log.
 
Did you cable to the onboard after resetting BIOS? This is beginning to sound more of a logon issue - I've had three in this week but they were all Vista systems with problems involving files XP doesn't have. Three in one week made me suspect a Windows update - have you recently had one?

Erlier I sed monitor goes in sleep mode - thats only if i Enable on bord and plug monitor lead into AGP or the other way.
I don't want to instal new windows or reinstal xp couse day before this happened i uploaded 11 GB information on my computer and i can't loose it.
 
Optimised Default is BIOS way of resetting any changes made since it was written back to that point in time. It might be worth a shot in your case and it can't harm anything.

I'm as certain as I can be that your personal files aren't damaged by this as it seems to be a graphics problem. You could run a Live CD of a Linux operating system to give you access tot the files and allow you to transfer them out if you are concerned.
