try it with the other video card, and check to make sure none of the 
pins are bent on
the processor card.

I did the same upgrade but was able to find a DA 733Mhz card. I had no 
problems  at
all. Everything I've read indicates the quick silver card should work.

I think the QS card was larger and had an extra hole for an additional 
standoff. Maybe make
sure that that there isn't extra pressure flexing the card because of 
the lack of the extra standoff
for support.

Also check that the heat sink clips are on correctly and not shorting 
something out.
