    It means you set the speed too high and need to step back a bit for the system to work.

    I had a similar message recently, in the end I had to reset my CMOS and that cleared it.

    Just a guess, but I believe the on-board video uses the AGP bus. With AGP, you can't share it between two video cards. I bet if you go into BIOS and disable the on-board video, you'll be alright.
