after succesful installing of all components(except agp-video-card) i separated mainboard plus all components out of the case. as said: agp geforce2 mx400 did not work. we checked everything and came to the conclusion that inside the case agp is notworking. the fault was probably wrong screws(too big) and too small washer(i hope its the right word) causing wrong contact. we will see. the actual problem is: i took out all cards(beside agp which is working outside the case). then i mounted audio and network and multimedia can be seen twice in the startmenue. how can i erase all entrees in bios? i thought activate configuration will solve the problem. pc hangs. or should i wait more minutes not just 30 seconds? i tried out all bios options(default and minimum)

Try going into the bios setup and use the factory/setup defaults and make sure you save your settings before exiting. reboot and see what happens. your video card will be the first thing to show up since it has it's own bios. it should give you the amount of memory and the name of the card installed.
when you say washers are you talking about the ones inbetween the motherboard and the screws? these are not needed. however, to asure proper grounding you must have the right sized screws and they must be firmly tightened...be sure not to tighten them too much.
good luck
