GF4 4600 stopped working in Epox 8RDA+ ?!

Problem
Using XP2200+ on Epox 8RDA+ w/ a GF4 Ti4600

Everything was working fine, installed a network card into the computer and the GF4 stopped working! All it will display now is weird ASCII characters and blocks on the Epox board.

Tried removing the network card, maybe some weird irq conflict... same deal, wont even boot up... all I get is the weird ASCII characters. Tried clearing CMOS, same problem. I put the GF4 4600 into an older comptuer and it works 100% ok. I took my old ATi 7200 and put it onto the 8RDA+ and it works fine.

So the GF4 4600 doesnt work in the new comp anymore, but it works in the old... and the ATI 7200 works in both computers.

Any ideas why this would be happening, and how I might be able to fix it?

Thanks.
 
wow very odd. Maybe a power supply issue, would recommend trying a different power supply. Maybe even update your BIOS. Good luck
 
Maybe it's time to order a 9800pro 😀

Seriously though, this may sound stupid... is your card seated properly ??
 
Yes, the card is seated correctly.

I hope its not a PSU problem... its a brand new Enermax 350w PSU... and the old computer uses a super old generic 250w PSU =\
