Geforce Ti4200

Can anyone help me out?

i'm having a problem with my GeForce Ti4200 card. i have an Ati Radeon 7000 installed right now, when i switch cards windows will not recognize the GeForce card.

What i've tried so far;

*Uninstalling all drivers for the Ati card, shutting down the system, installing the GeForce card and restarting the computer. i get: Beep... Beep Beep............Beep. Beep. and the monitor is still in standby mode.

i have checked for physical damage on the GeForce card. can't see anything.

Computer Specs:

OS Name Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition
Version 5.1.2600 Service Pack 2 Build 2600
System Manufacturer D845HV
System Model HV84510A
System Type X86-based PC
Processor x86 Family 15 Model 1 Stepping 2
GenuineIntel ~1594 Mhz

Total Physical Memory 640.00 MB
Available Physical Memory 410.12 MB
Total Virtual Memory 2.00 GB
Available Virtual Memory 1.96 GB
(not sure if this is all needed)

I just updated the system bios to the latest version, all is original settings. (i looked around a little in the bios' advanced section and for the video stuff and all that is there is the option to change from 64mb to 256mb....? not sure about that stuff. and to change from PCI to AGP)

i also don't have on-board video, so how would i test to see if the card is good or not? (the card is not brand new)

if you get beeps during post i would say the card is dead. that has nothing to do with software
