I have an ASUS A7N266-VM Motherboard, AGP-4x Slot, 512 MB DDR RAM, 300W intex power supply, I bought a BIG GeForce 6200 256 MB 64-bit (AGP 8x) 3d Card. I dont know if my computer supports it. I tried putting it into the AGP 4x slot. The Computer did not boot up at all, but the fans were working. When I removed the Graphics Card, the System booted up.

Please Reply!!!

U didn't mention ur other peripherals, eg HDD, ROMs

1)Did u change the primary display to AGP, from Onboard VGA chip, in the BIOS? I think some mobos need to it to be done manually, others just shift to AGP card automatically.
2)Try friend's SMPS with higher rating.
