This totally sucks!

Got my new MSI nforce2 board today, plugged everything in. Went into BIOS and set the fsb a little overclocked... Like it was on the last motherboard. Made sure AGP speed was set so it didnt speed up with the fsb.

NOW MY MONITOR/GRAPHICS CARD WONT WORK. I turn the computer on and monitor does its clicking thing, but the light doesnt turn green, its stays on its standby orange, and nothing comes up on the monitor! This stinks!

Did I mess something up with the BIOS? I tried clearing CMOS but same problem. ARG!

Ok heres the update.

I set the motherboard jumpers to "safe", so it runs at 100mhz fsb. NOW the monitor/video card works! but when I got back to the higher mhz, not overclocked at 166 but just normal at 133, it doesnt work! help! I thought the nforce2's locked the agp mhz!
