Wow! Thankyou lots - some of those ideas sound very promising, but ill let you know how i get on with it. I'm still unsure as to if its a hardware or software fault - unfortunatlye i'm more leaning to the point of view its a hardware problem, given that sometimes it won't even get as far as the bios screen when booting.
Unhelpfully, the motherboard was second hand, and not only do i not have the manual, i don't even know what make it it - all i know is that it can take Pentium II chips. I'm certain the beeps must be monitor not found, as theres no visual output when that occurs. I didn't even know AGP existed until a couple ofdays ago, and have no idea about AGP multiplication.
Still, I can try out most of the ideas. We currently have 3 of these new graphics cards and 3 motherboards in this house, and some combination must work and give insights into why it doesn't work now. :)
