Describing your system in detail might help. Like for instance of what brand and capacity is the powersupply?

Tried the card in another rig? Just from what I'm hearing if you've got the thing installed correctly physically you shouldn't have those kind of problems unless you've got damage elsewhere like a bad AGP connection or you don't have the secondary power connected.
