Your resolution is probably set too high for the monitor to handle. What you should try is boot into safe mode, make sure that it is set @ 640x480 and make sure that the refresh rate is set to adapter default. Try rebooting to see if it lets you in normally and then you should be able to readjust the settings of the card. if that doesn't help try putting your old card back in and remove any information regarding the new card<i.e drivers, software>. Then put the new card back in and reload the drivers. Enkrypted

I'm thinking along the same lines as enkrypted but I'd make sure the video card is all right in Device Manager...and that it's there.
I'm betting yours is a driver issue...and even tho it's only a 16 MB video card, it should give you higher resolution than you're getting.
Might as well look in the BIOS to make sure the PC is setup to handle the card...you don't say if it's AGP or PCI.
Was there onboard video on the motherboard before you installed the new one?
That probably needs to be disabled in the BIOS.
(Look under peripherals)
Grub out your motherboard manual (or download one) and look at the BIOS section for instructions.
