here's something that worked for me.  i was having the same problem after
i installed my card: i got a blank screen and the thing just wouldn't
boot.  i also heard a loud beep when i first turned it on.  so i put my
old video card back in, went to the system properties and removed my old
video driver.  then i turned it off, took out the old card and put in the
voodoo3.  when i booted up again, it worked fine.  hope it works for you.
