Since you have AGP speed lock feature, you could try upping it from 66 to 76 mhz if you have not overclocked your card. Let us know what you get after the change.

I have a 9800Pro too. Great card, I love it. I had a problem at first too. Make sure you have the drivers installed in the right order. I forget the order, check out rage3d.com. Also if you have ddr ram on your MB make sure they're in the right banks. I initially installed my sticks next to each other, I didn't realize that they have a bank between them.
