hi i just put my new pc together consisting of a new 160gb sata, gigabyte p35, e6750. 4gb ddr2 800. and a evga 8800gt. i hooked everything up without a hitch i thought and i was successfully able to install vista but now i start up my pc and though i can see it boot up vista, it becomes a black screen after im in on my lcd and on my crt the screen starts flickering and readjusting? But when i manually shut my pc down while its doing that the screen becomes normal again and i can see the boot down? yesterday i was actually able to get into the computer for a min or so before this started to happen again. please help thanks

i installed the drivers from the disk the card came from which didnt work so i tried to download the newest ones from the web with safemode+networking but im unable to install them? vista wont let me it says unable to locate folders or something i think it has to do with safe mode restrictions? also i havent been able to install my mobo drivers because its not working from the disk in safe mode? i also tried my old 7600gt and switching the memory slots to 2 and 4 instead of 1 and 3. all has not worked. im so frustrated ha :/

Dang I don't know if Vista is the culprit or hardware. Try to take one memory chip out and just use one and see if that is hanging you up. I know this sounds weird but it worked with me a couple of times. I gave up on vista after 3 months. I installed it for DX 10 but it wasn't worth the hassle. I always get blasted for saying that but I don't like fighting my OS all the time.
Are you running the monitor through DVI output?
Also If nothing seems to work try to reinstall everything. It could have been a corrupt install.
