thank you guys for the time you have put in replying, ok first off my power supply is a OCZ stealth stream 600watts, i will try taking it out and making sure its in right then ill repost. Also the monitor works with the card fine until i install the drivers, then when i reboot and it boots up the screen has bright pink and other colors in a bunch of swirls. Im not sure if i unstalled the cd drivers before i installed the website drivers, all i could do to be able to see again was boot into safe mode and hit the restore point . do i still need to manualy uninstall them>? Yes i do have an extra vid card and monitor to test on it, i have 2 whole computers here.
