ATI 9700 Pro Installation Problem

[MuzzleFlashes]

I purchased an OEM ATI 9700 Pro on Ebay and it's turned into a nightmare. When I boot up, after the Windows XP logo I get a black screen with a little yellow square in the upper left corner. I installed the latest Mother Board drivers from the VIA website for my ASUS P3V4X. I have the latest BIOS revision. I have the minimum required 300W power supply. The only clue I have to go on is: after I installed the latest VIA drivers for my motherboard and I boot up with my old card, an ATI 7200, which works like a champ, I get the New Hardware Found Wizard that says "select to install software for the following new hardware: VIA Bus Master IDE drivers". I've tried searching my C: drive everywhere to find any drivers that might please this wizard but the wizard won't accept anything.
Any help would surely be appreciated. I'm starting to think that maybe I was sold a bad card.

Hmmm. have you tried the card in any other comps? If it works in other ones I would think your power supply, 300 really isnt enough

Unfortunatly I don't have another computer to try it on.

Probably an incompatability with your VIA chipset. If I were you I would go and buy a BX or 815 mobo and that would probably solve your problem.

If I got a BX or 815 mobo would they accept my old 800Mh slot 1 PIII and memory from my PV34X?
