Hi, I need a bit of advice if you have a sec to check my problem out:

I ahev an Abit NF7 motherboard:
http://www.abit-usa.com/products/mb/products.php?categories=1&model=8

And recently purchased this graphics card:
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-115-AS&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=403

My problem is when I boot up I get a continous beep and the PC wont output a signal to my monitor at all. I have tried re-seating it quite a few times, and the same problem arises, any time I put the old card in the PC boots fine again.

I have a few questions:

Will the motherboard even support the card? I know the motherboard is rated to take AGP 8X but is there something else?

Is there a BIOS setting that needs changing? I have the aperture set to max (512MB) although I tried 256 as well, and the AGP speed I have tried 1, 2, 4, 8 and auto-detect.

There is a setting on the lines of "AGP Clock speed" or "Graphics clock speed" that can range from 66 to 99, im unsure what to use, for the old card 66 works fine.

Any advice would be great.
