AGP 2.0? Problems using new GeForce 6800 GT

[nucleicoutfit]

Hi,

I just bought a BFG GeForce 6800 GT OC but upon booting with it I get a long motherboard beep along with the error code 25 (i have a 3 year old motherboard - the Epox 8kha+). I'm almost certain I have AGP 2.0 compatibility since most of what i've read online says that AGP 4x is AGP 2.0, and I'm certain that my motherboard supports AGP 4x.

Has anyone run into a similar problem?

Another source of the problem may be the power plug I'm plugging into the back of the card. I have an Antec 480W power supply. I haven't yet tried using a dedicated cord straight to the card... I might've daisy chained it off of something else. I'm at work right now so when I get home I'm going to test this.

Any information or tips greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

You do need to run a dedicated Power connector to the video card.

yeah, do you have a molex connector plugged into the power plug on the card? If not, then that might be the source of the problem. I did that once with my 9800 Pro and it beeped at me a buch before I realized that I did not have the extra power cable plugged in. The AGP slot can only supply so much juice to a card.
