How is your AGP card sitting in relation to the case? Is it flush? I mean, does it line up with the screw hole, or must you bend the mounting bracket to have it fit?
I've run into this problem a couple of times myself and sometimes found that the case is often to blame. A case that is slightly bent (accidently or during manufacturing) causes the card not to have solid contact.
To see if this is the problem, remove your mounting bracket that is attached to your video card and put the card back into the system.
Boot your system several times and see if the problem still exists. Be careful not to bump your case while power is applied and or touch your AGP card.
Be EXTRA sure that when you do this, that the card is in the AGP slot aligned.
Let me know the results. If it is a case of your AGP slot pins not giving good contact--and not the case--there are a few things that you can do to fix that, but I'd rather not give you the info on that yet, since you can actually ruin your AGP slot if you're not careful.
