So I bought a <A HREF="http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?logon=&langid=EN&dept=18&WLBS=fsweb16&sku_id=0665000FS10037334&catid=&newdeptid=18" target="_new">PCI XFX GeForce FX5200</A> from Future Shop, brought it home and removed old TNT2 then installed the 5200, after that I start up Windows XP, it detects it and tries to install the drivers for it but fails.

Then I tried using the driver cd it came with and that didn't either so I tried manually installing the drivers and they install, but now windows is telling me "This device could not start. (Code 10)" so I tried making it the primary graphics adapter in the BIOS since i have a <A HREF="http://www.pcchips.com.tw/M748LMRT.html" target="_new">PCCHIPS M748LMRT</A> with 1 PCI and built in AGP SIS620.

Now the computer refuses to boot and gives me a blank screen and it won't boot until I remove it so it goes back to the built-in, the TNT2 will boot with it but freezes the comp after it detects the drives, and after all that I called tech support at future shop and this problem confuses the guy there as much as it does me, he figures the mobo just isn't compatible with it, but nothing seems to be working, I have a 300w PSU like it said as well.

Any ideas?

Describe to me the method you used to remove your onboard tnt2 video.
