KT6 and radeon

Question

hi all
i have just aquired the kt6 but can not get the graphics card to work properly, a radeon 9600pro
it works fine in windows, but as soon as i try to play any games it just crashes, sometimes re starting and others just sits there with black screen, at sometimes theres even loud screaching sounds when this happens through the speakers, i also tried another card, radeon 7200 with the same resaults, i have tried different drivers, fast write on and off, re installed windows and still no luck.
also the mic input dont work on this board and when windows is loading theres a loud crackling noise from the speakers when the sound card drivers load
i have had no problems with other msi boards and this card but this mobo just dont like it, could it be a problem with the boards agp bus? or could the board be faulty?
specs are as follows
550w psu
3200+ 400 mhz
512 samsung 400 mhz
radeon 9600 pro, made by ati
Kt6 delta mb set to 200fsb(=400mhz)
sata 120gb, single drive
any ideas anyone before i return the board and maybe get the asus deluxe instead
thanks
