I've tried searching but I couldn't find any similar problems. I'm trying to boot my computer for the first time with the AIW 9700 , but it doesn't do much. The CPU fan comes on and then stops after less than a second. If I remove the Power to the card but leave it in the AGP slot the system boots but then has a constant beep. I've read some places that this may be a bad power supply. If I remove the card completely the system seems to boot fine. The setup I have is Epox 8rda+, Athlon xp 2400+, 512 PC2700 Kingston, and the AIW 9700 Pro. I'm just trying to boot to get into the BIOS. Unfortunately I don't have a spare video card or another computer to test the card in. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Maybe your power supply just doesn't have enough power to run your vid card. What's your supply's wattage?
