Was the Rage card pulled from a working system? Do you know that it worked? Or was it a scavenged part?

What it could be is: a bad video card, as Paul said; a bad AGP slot (shorts), or a bad power supply (fails under load).

To test, start over. Pull everything from the motherboard, Remove and replace the CMOS battery, then start adding parts again. Start with a different power supply.

But, I agree with Paul. If that is a faulty motherboard you risk taking down a lot of parts with it. If you are only using scavenged parts then hey, go for it. But if not, you may want to just return that thing to where it came!
