9800 PRO AIW problems

I just bought a 9800 PRO AIW (mfd by ATI) and I cannot get my system to POST with the new card in, I am getting a POST code 26 (the EPoX book says this is "reserved"). The fan on the card runs.

System specs:
EPoX 8KTA3+ mobo
AMD Athlon 1.3 GHz
Sparkle 350W PS
512 MB ram

This is an upgrade, and the system boots up fine when I put my old card back in, a GeForce 2 MX. I have tested the 9800 in two other systems, it worked in a Athlon 1800+ Soyo KT400 Dragon system, so I know it's not a bad card. I have been led to suspect a conflict with my mobo, as it gave the same problem in another system with the EPoX 8KTA3+.

I have tested it both plugged into the PS and not. I have flashed the BIOS to the newest version available. I have made sure to disable Fastwrite and have made sure Init Display first is set to AGP. I made sure to run Driver Cleaner to clean the old drivers. Have also tried changing AGP speed and aperture sizes.

I have searched all over and have seen similar problems but none of the suggested solutions seem to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
