Still problems with the ABIT KT7A and ASUS V7700 PURE!

Ok... I've got the following problem:

When I boot up my computer, (ABIT KT7A, Duron 800, 256Mb 133MHz SDRAM, Asus V7700PURE 32Mb, 250W power source) the P.O.S.T gives me one long and two short beeps, indicating a VGA malfunction or no VGA card. My BIOS is an Award WW. I have raised the I/O voltage to 3.4V (actually, I've tried to raise it up to 3.6V, no change) and manually set the AGP driving value to EA. I've also lowered the CPU core voltage to 1.475V, which seems to be sufficient (as the actual voltage to CPU core is a bit over 1.5V). Abit seems to have released a new (beta)version of the BIOS just a moment ago, could it help to flash it? Anyone has any experiences of the new version at all? I'm not too eager to flash a beta bios.

I've now changed my power source to a 350W one, providing 17A current to the 3.3V. This HAS to be enough, so it's something else. I haven't yet had time to try this further, but I disconnected my CD-ROM -drives and the system has booted up normally every time since (about three times this far). Could there be a correction to this problem in a newer version of V7700 BIOS?

I know a lot of people have the same kind of problems with, at least ABIT KT7 MoBos and a few different GF GTS2 Video cards (and have had for some time, now!), so a solution would be welcome and VERY MUCH APPRECIATED!!
THANX!!! AK
 
I just postet a simular question, i have the same problem, but i have a Asus P2B-S mobo instead with a P-II 350Mhz, so i start to belive that maybe it is the bios on the our graphic card or. I was hoping that this problem would be solved because i just bought a new mashine with a Abit KT7A-RAID (i just have to put it asamble it), but now im not so shure anymore.
 
Hogler, I was, this morning, going to switch my ABIT board to an ASUS A7V133 but for the last couple of hours I've been reading forums, articles and reviews of the ATI Radeon chip. I think it just provides everything I need right now, for a reasonable price and I'm going for it. This is because the only Mobo with a KT133A chipset (other than KT7A, of course) is the A7V133, which is about 75$ more expensive than the KT7A here in finland. The only (that matters) is that the A7V has got RAID, but I don't really need it, so I felt I was just wasting my money. Even then, if Radeon ain't got the 3D punch, I can always wait for the NV20!!
Hope you get your system working!!! AK
