I had the same problem with my wife's pc last month. I thought it was the video card, but even swapping it with another card did the same thing. So then I installed a PCI video card I had laying around and it worked. So I guess the AGP slot quit working. I trashed the mobo as it was an old Abit LX6.

A friend of mine got the same problem he realized that he burned the AGP slot because the generated power to the audio card was 1amp incorrect so , that amp was rigth to the agp slot we don't know how but that was the problem .
maybe in some point there is a link between them.
