Do you hear any multiple audio tones like one long and two short beeps when first starting up the system? With the system booting normal without anything seen onscreen you most likely have a bad card if it is not lifted up in the AGP slot. If you are only hearing a single beep you may want to check the vga plug to make sure that is not unplugged or partially pulled out.
Do you know someone with an extra AGP card sitting around? If you suddenly saw a normal screen you would known then that you have a flaky card there not sounding an alarm. If your board lacks a speaker you wouldn't hear even the single default beep heard on most systems. If a loaner card known to be a good card fails to see anything onacreen the AGP slot itself or another problem on the AGP bus would be the cause.
