NVIDIA RIVA TNT2 32 MB
MOTHER ELPIDA (???) NO MODEL NUMBER PRINTED ON THE BOARD
FOR PII, 3 PCI SLOTS, 2 ISA SLOTS, AT & ATX CONNECTORS,
4 SIMM SLOTS, 2 DIMM SLOTS, SUPPORTS AGP 1.0
THE PC WORKS WITH STANDARD VGA DRIVERS,
BUT WHEN I INSTALL THE NVIDIDA DRIVERS, IT HANGS. (ANYTIME)
i can't find bios update for the mobo, because
i don't know the exact model.
what can i do?

Stop SHOUTING.
What version of Detonators are you using? I've had problems with the 4x.xx series on older cards before. What OS are you using? If it's Win98/ME, you should go here (http://www.guru3d.com/files) and download the Detonator Destroyer app, uninstall your old driver and try an older version (from the same site, they have an archive).

you can look for your motherboard model at www.motherboards.org

also, make sure you install directx before the detonators

The problem is the motherboard, only supports AGP 1.0
and the RIVA TNT2 is AGP 2.0. definitively this card
doesn't works in this mother because need AGP 2.0
my client will buy new a new motherboard.
note: the mobo has labeled as 'elpina', (similar to
PCChips M715), this mb has no support, bios update,
etc.
