azhure pointed me towards your post, since I have just built her an upgrade with an identical motherboard.
The Video card being loose sounds decidedly dodgy though, I had a bugger of a time getting in a GF4Ti4200. The retention clip at the back should hold everytihgn in place quite snugly when it is clipped over the top of the notch on the back of the card. THough as long as the card's fingers are buried in the slot properly, that should be ok. (assuming its not sliding back and forth somehow).
Another thing I found was that the whoile kit and kaboodle wouldnt get past post till I flashed the BIOS. Now I know youre not even getting that far, but neither was I till I gave the existing BIOS a clear by shorting the jumpers. I had found that every time I saved the BIOS, even without making changes, the PC would just plain not start.....black screen, no beeps, nuffin.
If clearing lets you boot, but not POST, then flashing should do it for you. I upgraded to the latest BIOS, but I suspect that flashing to the same as whats already in there would have worked too.
