Hi! I have a Super Socket 7 configuration, in which I just bought a USB 2.0 PCI header.
However, if I put it in any PCI slot, the PC does not show an image at startup, if I take it out, everything is fine. Does anyone have an idea? 😀

There were different pinouts used for USB headers at this time.
You probably need a multimeter to check whether you have produced a short circuit between +5V and GND.

I think the first part is to make sure your SS7 system PCI slots and USB 2.0 PCI card are both the same voltage or at least tolerant.
