    Ok i think this is a driver prob. when i start my computer it shows the post screen, the loading windows screen, and right before it gets to the welcome screen it gos black and the moniter turns off. Iv wated 3 Min and it dont come back on. About 1 out of 4 times it makes it to windows. The card and the system is running stock speeds anf voltages. Iv instaled the latest chipset and video card drivers. I ran spy bot and norten corpret and both up to date. Ok windows sais its the video crad drivers that are the prob so i uninstalld them and installed the one off the driver CD that came with the card, same prob. Now im back with the new drivers and the same prob windows is fine and runs normaly if i can get it to load. Plz. help :(

    No i removed them in add / remove programs. Dont see how that maks a deforance i had the prob with the defalt drivers that windows used when i hade to format and reinstall. It did the same thing with the first drivers i installed.....

    well you posted earlier that the video card drivers were to blame

    so when you put in fresh drivers you need to completly wipe out the old ones lots of crap gets left behind

    so if your saying its the drivers at fault the only way to eliminate them as the problem is to install a fresh set after nuking any remnants of the old one

    im not 100% sure but i think robo is getting at the nvidia driver helper service which does anything but help
    go to start-run type services.msc then look for this
    NVIDIA Display Driver Service double click it and set start-up type to disabled and apply

    that sucks man
    what version of the via drivers you using ive encountered numerous problems with the 4.50s and above
    have you checked device manager for probs and that you have the via agp driver installed
    check the card is seated in its slot properly and the cables are ok to the monitor
    have you installed direct x 9 as the fx is a dx9 card
    have you tried start-run-dxdiag and run the tests

    if safe mode runs fine then i would suspect driver issue

    so you could try
    http://download.guru3d.com/detonator/

    and download the forceware 52.16 whql drivers seems some ppl have issues with the newest set and your card

    might be worth a shot

    dont forget the driver cleaner though ;)
