Hi Howard, have you tried to reset bios to factory default?
Ive also seen before on a machine that had the bios selecting whether it was going to boot from a PCI video or AGP. If set incorrectly you saw the Bios on one screen and then the operating system on the other... same symptoms you see except the operating system starting. Until the OS finds both and you have a dual screen. So the bios might be set to go to the other card even though it is physically not present. Stick another video card in and see or reset to factory default perhaps. However the factory default might be for a video card you don't have.
