Byron, try reseating the card.  I know you think it's properly
seated but do it anyway.  Then go into your system bios setup
and increase the voltage to your AGP slot to 3.5v.  Last thing,
check the specs for your power supply.  If it's less than 250
or 300W you may need to upgrade it.

| Last Sunday I bought a Creative GeForce 2 GTS 32mb card for my Pentium III
| 800EB Abit BE6-II Rev 2 PC. Since that time I have had nothing but problems
| from midweek onwards.
| 
| Firstly sometimes the computer (on boot) will display multicolored garbage
| text which means its impossible to do anything in Windows/Bios
| etc...othertimes the PC will not detect a graphics card is even in the PC
| and I will get a beep on starting up the PC. Only a hard reboot will correct
| the problem.
| 
| I have checked to make sure that the card is in the AGP slot ok and my G400
| works perfectly in the PC...is this the problem I have heard about Creative
| GeForce 2 cards having with various ABIT motherboards or do I have a faulty
| GeForce 2 Card (either way I guess it's going back tomorrow)
| 
| Cheers
