Help Radeon and ASUS A7V8X-X Kt400

[episodic]

I'm at my wits end. I bought a Radeon 8500 off of FS/FT. Got it, when I installed it in my ASUS A7V8X-X motherboard, the board refused to post - beep, beep, beep. I seated, reseated, etc. Eventually I returned it to the seller thinking it to be a bad card. Seller emails me a pic of the card in action.

I let it go. This time I buy a brand new in box RADEON 9200. Now it does the same dern thing. It will post just fine with 2 nvidia cards I have laying around.

I've tried chaning several things in the bios to get it to boot. No joy. I even reset the cmos.

Funny thing is the video card will display the bios screen just fine, so it has to be working, right? It just won't let me boot - beep beep beep. When I reboot after that (hard reset) it will go to the bios screen. I save the bios settings and exit. . . beep beep . . .

Help please

Ok the card works fine, installed it in my son's old AMD Thunderbird 1.3 gigahertz system with a kt-266 board.

Again, I ask, why does it stop with errors on my current board. My current board works fine with a geforce 2 mx 200, and a ti 200 geforce 3. It fails on startup with the radeon with beep, beep, beep. I've tried bios defaults, I've read everything on ATI's site, can't find anything helpful on ASUS's site.

Please help, I want the radeon in my main rig . . .
