One word! Resolution! when in safe mode take your resolution down to smething safe like 800x600 then reboot.
Otherwise start from the very beginning and remove the geforce drivers and start from scratch again.
Note* you should also have set first display (in the bios) to AGP not onboard.

Start by questioning and soon you will be answering.
So please take but remember to return and give when you can.

here's another few words - video drivers. sounds like you have not installed the correct video drivers for the card. suggest removing the card from device manager - reboot and let the pc detect the card.

i had the same problem!
I took a look at the graphics chip on my mother board.
There should be a manufacturers name plus product no.
E.g SIS6261 or something simmilar i then went to

http://www.driverguide.com

and found the driver for this chip and the graphics card then started working.
You should be able to get at least 16 bit color and change your resolution.
