XFX GeForce FX 5200 get detected as GeForce4 MX 420

Hi Everyone!, I recently assembled a computer on my own. I used a
GeForce FX 5200 video card from XFX and a Shuttle A35 Motherboard with
Athlon 2800 CPU. I installed Windows 2000 with latest service pack.

The problem is when I install the video driver from NVIDIA (even the
latest one) my video card shows up as GeForce4 MX 420 in windows
settings with a speed of 4x AGP. My motherboard says it supports 8x
AGP and GeForce FX 5200 of course support 8x AGP.

I have tried many things but it is just not able to figure out the
correct card. Are there any BIOS settings that I will have to tweak? I
would have thought as long as AGP 8x is supported by motherboard and
video card, there are no other compatibility issues.

Any hints/ideas will be very appreciated.

Install the motherboard chipset drivers so as to have the AGP slot drivers
installed.

Tried uninstalling Display drivers in Add/Remove dialogue, rebooting,
stopping the found new hardware wizard on reboot.Then using FX5200 cd for
installing drivers?

I tried that several times. Infact last time I uninstalled all the
video as well as motherboard drivers. Booted Windows in safe mode,
deleted all the lingering files and then installed the drivers again.
But no luck!

Sounds like a bad card maybe?
