K7S5A v3.1 + Ati 128 Ultra 32m = problem

Ive got a problem with my ("new") Ati video card. It doesnt work with my
motherboard. When I turn my PC on nothing happens, there is no signal to my
monitor (it doesnt try to start the boot sequence) . If my monitor is
powered off and then I turn my PC - PC starts.. but system still fails to
detect the card.. when I reboot again, problem isnt solved..

(I'm sure the card is not defective, it works with another motherboard (MSI
K7N2-Delta, and my K7S5A works with another video cards (Riva TNT2 or
GeForce 4 MX440SE)

where is the problem? is it posible that they cant work together?

Im not sure,but I dont think Ati 128 Ultra needs more power than GeForce 4
MX440SE. (there is no problems with GF4 instaled on my K7S5A

Im sure Ati is inserted because .."If my monitor is
powered off and then I turn my PC - PC starts.. " and there is signal to my
monitor.. "but system still fails to detect the card.."
...maybe I should update bios? http://www.ecs.com.tw/download/k7s5a.htm
which?

This is kinda bizarre ain't it, Shep? His PC boots if the monitor is turned
off. Is it perhaps a monitor issue? In this situation, is the graphics
adaptor detected in device manager? If so, as what? ATI 128 or Standard VGA?
What sort of ATI card is it? Rage 128? Are the latest ATI reference drivers
installed? Is the monitor PNP compliant and is the correct driver installed?

It could also be that the system is booting too fast to receive the
Vsync off the card/monitor.I have seen this before.In that case change
the Fast boot option on the BIOS to,"Disabled"?
