ok, I bought a pci gfx card, but was horrified to discover that i had no pci slots, only agp.
obviously it wouldn't fit, but i heard i could make it work.
i got my dads tin snips and trimmed the excess bits off, equally from both sides. I ground the rough edges off with glass paper. And now it fits !
but when i switch on my pc i get no video.
PLEASE HELP ! its doing my head in !!!

Your PC is obviously over heating.
Take the case off, get a hose pipe from ouside, and spray the computer with water. Make sure that all electrics are plugged in and switched on or this will not work.
If you see smoke and blue sparks, you are using the wrong sort of water.

What motherboard have you got?
A friend of mine had this problem, too.
Try putting it in one of the RAM slots. That will solve the problem. You may also need to soak it in lighter fluid, as a coolant.
Failing that, there's an excellent wbesite you can try:

OMG are you stupid?
AGP IS BETTER than PCI Video Cards, and you CAN't TRIM cards or they won't work.

ok i did that, and I heard a large bang. does this also mean I'm using the wrong water. perhaps de-ionised car battery water is more suitable?
