Dual Monitor issue

I have a HP Pavilion p6234f with an Intel GMA 3000 on board video on an Intel G33 motherboard.

My issue is that I need dual outputs, use a monitor and projection system (it is for our church), so I bought a GeForce 8400 GS 512MB 64-bit card.

Installed the new card but the computer still won't allow dual outputs and then the computer started restarting.

Anyone have any ideas?

You need to disable the onboard video in the BIOS.

We did disable the onboard.

What is the slot type for the board, and what is the slot type you are trying to use? You may have plugged the board into the wrong kind of PCI slot.
