Why would you want to do that? If you have a AGP card, why run it in non accelerated PCI mode-thingie?

I just got a PCI video card, and it is still set on AGP.

You need to change the setting in the BIOS when your computer boots up.

It's gonna be hard cause that menu only stays for 1 second.

Yeah, start tapping as soon as your computer comes on and you should have no problem getting into it. That's what the HP support hotline told me. :P

The option to change it to PCI is only up for a few seconds...
I can get into it fine, it just has the menu up for a few seconds.

Did you ever try putting the old card back in, changing the setting, and then putting the new one in?

There was no "old card".

In order to use a new card, there has to be an older one to replace it. (Unless it's integrated into the motherboard.)

No, there doesn't. If there's no other card in the computer, the system sends the image output to the one that is, doesn't matter if its in PCI or AGP in BIOS. If you got two cards, then it would matter.

If he/her gets any image, then it's fine, if not, then it's something else that's wrong. And no, no performance loss, because the option in BIOS you talk about (Primary VGA BIOS in my BIOS) only controls what card to use when you got more than one.

The monitor has to connect to something. That's why I mentioned integrated video. Integrated video is a video adapter that uses shared memory on the motherboard. It is not removable, unless you remove the entire motherboard.

I get images.
Just not in more colour then 16 colours.
It's like it works but only has 16 colours and no sound.

That clarifies the problem a lot. I'm guessing you have onboard video and sound. It means they have a driver problem, or something on the motherboard was shorted, causing the video and sound adapter to stop working.
