Input not supported when installing a new card

Hi

So i was just helping a friend upgrade to a new graphics card

I removed his old card (an AGP Geforce), and plugged in his new RadeonX1650 Pro (Also AGP). Everything is going fine, i see the windows loading bar, but after windows loads, my monitor gives me an "Input not supported message".

I reinstalled his old card, thinking it could be a driver problem, and uninstalled his old Nvidia drivers. After restarting, the old card now also gives me an "input not supported message"

So now, i essentially cant even get into windows with either card.

I have tried it with a different monitor, with similar results

comp stats:
xp pro sp1
512mb ram
gigabyte motherboard

Any help greatly appreciated

SOLVED

Tried it with a 3rd monitor and it worked surprisingly.
