Dead AGP slot or something else?

I have been experiencing problems with my GeForce TI 4600 AGP card for a while now. At first it started with some strange artifacts showing up on my screen, then intensified and at one point I couldn't even surf the web or play a game without seeing them. With the games, some textures and polygons etc would'nt show up. Anyway, I tried fixing the problem myself with new drivers, cooling the card more, making sure it was seated properly, but nothing worked. Eventually, nothing at all would show up on the screen whatsoever. I would boot it up, and nothing would come up on the monitor. I heard the computer go through its normal sounds and such so it must have been working ok otherwise. I got a new AGP card (GeForce 5200 AGP) to replace my old one, but I get the same problem. Right now I'm using an old 3DFX Voodoo 3 card in a PCI slot and it works fine. I have the GeForce 5200 card as secondary. Nothing shows up when i switch it to the main video card, but the computer still recognizes that its plugged in. I have a D850EMV2 Intel mobo, 2.53 GHz Pentium 4 processor, 1 gig ram, Win XP running. Can anyone help me?
