Thanks to those that have taken the time help. If anyone needs a spare 775Dual, let me know!
It will be going to the FS/FT forum soon.

Engineer, EVGA's recent BIOS for 8800GT and GTS 512 cards work on the PT880Pro/Ultra boards without flashing. This is the BIOS that has been shipping on all EVGA cards since January. This has been confirmed by multiple sources.

Hey guys,
I have the 775 Dual-VSTA board and can't get my new EVGA 8800GTS 512mb to work on it???? System won't post anything on my monitor?
I have been using an ATI AIW X800XT AGP card for about a year with no problems.
System:
ASRock 775Dual-VSTA, BIOS 3.10
Intel Core 2 Duo E4400 @ 260x10=2.6Ghz
2x1GB PC2-6400 HP RAM
ANTEC Smart Power 500W PSU
Windows XP Pro-SP2
EVGA 8800GTS 512mb PCI-E Video card
ATI AIW X800XT AGP video card.

Read a couple posts above yours...looks like you need a PCI-E version 1.0 BIOS for your 8800GTS card (by Engineer).

You'll need another motherboard to use (borrow) to flash your card with a newer EVGA (NVidia reference) BIOS. You can download the 62.92.25.00.05 version of your BIOS here....and it should work with the VIA chipset of the 775Dual-VSTA board.
Bios (click me).
You will need the NVFlash program to pull your existing BIOS and save (recommended) and to flash your card with this version. You can download the latest NVFlash from this site also.
By the way, I tried to boot up using a PCI card (along with the 8800GT card) and it was a no-go on this board. I assume you won't be able to boot with the AGP and the 8800GT installed at the same time.
Good luck!

The newer generation BIOS are a hybrid BIOS that works with either. Earlier BIOS versions could be edited with NiBiTor to be Gen 1 or Gen 2. Nvidia released version 62.92.24.xx.xx and higher that now act as either Gen 1 or Gen 2 depending on your board at bootup.

It's not so much Asrock's fault as it was NVidia's reference BIOS's inability to work with older PCIe slots. ATI's cards, while they do have issues with certain BIOS features of this board, work fine for posting and bootup. Also, EVGA has taken the lead with new BIOS deployments for the 8800GT (not GTS?) lines and most "newer" models manufactured latly have a BIOS that will work.
You don't have a friend or someone that can flash your card?
Even if you buy a new board, you could always flash the 8800GTS and check to see if it runs on the Asrock...or you could just give the Asrock to me and I'll take good care of it!
Good luck!

Well, I will see if I can find someone with a PCI-E board to flash the bios on my 8800GTS.
I have never flashed the bios on a video card before, is it easy using nvFlash.v5.63.exe?
Are there any negative effect from Flashing? Will I possibly need to flash back to the original bios?
Thanks!

Dang, every time I talk to you Engineer, I get more and more nervous......lol
The PC I was going to try to use doesn't have a floppy drive, and I don't know if it can boot from USB and I don't think I have a UPS. I guess I will look into that and if it doesn't seem plausible, I will just buy a new board.
I used to be more aggressive in the past and would work on a problem for a long time to get it fixed. Now I try for a little while and if it doesn't work, I buy a replacement..........lol
