HIS HD 2600 Pro IceQ AGP 512 DDR2 Install Probs

First Here are my specs...

Mobo = ABIT TH7-II RAID Socket 478/850i chipset/AGP x4 (yes its old, lol)
Processor = P4 400fsb 2.2ghz
Memory = 1gb (4x256) RDRAM PC800 non-ecc
Sound = Creative Audigy Gamer
*Current Video = ABIT 9600xt VIVO 256mb/Core-Clock 500mhz

*Trying to Upgrade to = HIS HD 2600 Pro IceQ AGP 512 DDR2

Ok, my Mother In-Law's Video Card took a dump, so when I was getting the new parts she asked me if the card I was buying for her would work in my system since mine is old and I dont have the funds to build the system I want. So I told her yea, but I would have to upgrade my PSU, so she bought me the same card I was putting in her system plus a 575watt PSU.

Ok, her card went in without a hitch, I mean it couldnt have gone in smoother.
So now I get home and try to throw mine in, 1st thing I run into trouble with is the new PSU is not only a 24 pin main, but the conversion cables available are only to 20 pin and my board uses the 20 pin plus that freakin stupid 6PIN AUXPWR1 cable. So I was reading forums and there were a few people who were running this same card on the same PSU I have (ANTEC 350watt) as long as they dont use all the bells and whistles.

So I decide to give it a try and after uninstalling all the old drivers and everything I cant even get past the windows boot screen, it locks up near the end of the boot screen cycle. So I try and boot up in safe mode and it starts loading and locks up when it gets to the agp440.sys. I dont get error messages, it just locks up durring booting.

I tried several BIOS settings including "Fail Safe" settings all no effect.

Anyone have any ideas on how to get past this hump?

Sounds to me that you would need upgrade your mobo to AGPx8 board and get PSU that has 24-pin ATX connector and the power connector for the gfx card.
