G450 PCI XP Pro startup problem..........

[ohio photog]

I recently picked up a G450 PCI card for my pc I just put together. Installed it, booted up, I get the Intel splash screen, then Windows screen, then back to the Intel screen (with the top half the graphic missing). Then it takes me to a Window startup error screen with the options to boot with Safe mode, or last known good configuration, or start Window normally. Can't get past any of this without removing the card from the system, and even for being on for just a few minutes the card is quite warm. Here are the specs:

Intel D15GAG board
Intel P4 2.8 HT chip
1GB of Kingston Ram
160GB Western Digital SATA drive
Samsung DVD Burner drive

The Card is warm anyway...

Does the Intel Mobo have integrated Intel graphics ?

My work Mobo has Integrated intel graphics, and I had to disable the intel graphics part completely before the Matrox PCI card would stop rebooting the PC and switching my displays off...

Thank you for the advice, finally got it working. Yes, the Mobo has Intel graphics, I had to go into device manager and disable the Display Adaptor for the Intel graphics.
