Well, Ive got a system with a DTK 10 MHZ motherboard, an 8087 and a V20.
Works fine. 

So I'd suggest checking to be sure that the V20 is properly installed. 
Then I'd try putting back the 8088 and seeing if the errors go away. If
they do, try the v20 in another system. If it fails there too, buy a new
one.
