Problems with KyroII 4500 64MB on a MVP3 mobo

Sorry guys, it's on an Epox MVP3C2 and cannot get it to run without
artefacts all over. I ran DXdiag and cannot get anything of the cube to show
in D3D test (had the DX7-part start but freeze when only DX7 was installed).
I've tried disabling D3D & AGP in DXdiag and also reduced video
accleeration, the re-enabled, but no benefit.

I had used the same video card on my VA-503+ for about half a year without
any problems, so wonder why there should be a problem this time - was my
VA-503/KyroII a fluke or have others also had this combo running fine?

I have VIA 4in1 4.35 loaded and also DX 8.1 Hercules drivers are 16.055,
although I have tried those on the CD as well.
TIA

Any tips appreciated. Otherwise it's going to get replaced by a TNT2 Vanta
