There should be a Bios option to switch Primary VGA device from AGP to PCI and vice versa.

Look for an option like VGA boot from or Primary VGa device, then switch it to AGP.

VGA palette snooping should be an option for a different thing, leave it as disabled.
What motherboard do you use and what's the bios version installed ?
What PCI and AGP cards are you using ? It is possibel both cards don't like each other.

Any luck?

If the option that Denniss describes has no effect, I wonder if this is a bug in the BIOS.
