ok,here's what i did,i have an old 128 mb BIG fx5200 agp card
today morning i couldn't start my comp and i thought it just conked off i removed and reinserted the hard disk,ram.....everything but to no avail so i just popped in my xp recovery disk(i have an hp pavillion desktop) then after recovery when i reinsert my GPU(IF IT CAN BE CALLED ONE) the black screen comes and it says c:/system32/config.sys is missing please call your service guy blah blah....but it works fine without it so i switch off the power and then restart then i insert my software cd(the gpu's software disk) and i see "windows 98 startup menu" wtf? how can i get that when i have only xp then it tells me to start with or without cd rom support obviously i press the second option for cd rom support after that it says that system bios is corrupted please press any key to recover your bios from image stored in BIOS2 or press ctrl+c to quit,i keep pressing keys and two messages come on telling me that it is succesful and asking me to press the switch switch from bios1 to bios2 i can't find any switch on my gpu so i ignore it then i press another key it says bios transfer failed...........i remove the gpu and restart without it and it works perfectly......what do i do?did i kill it or can i recover it?
