i have found the asus drivers a real pain to install properly
you don't say what op sys. this is for xp
press f8 when you boot
choose safe mode
in the device manager uninstall the video card
reboot pressing f8 again this time choose vga mode
when windows finishes reinstalling the card
then install the drivers best to run the setup disk that came with the card
i have found using updated drivers direct from nvidia no good as asus seems to have some extras included in their drivers

If you can return it and get a built by ati card, better warranty.

the asus drivers are the ati drivers... they dont have any special ones at all....and i thank all of you for your help but i actually have a friend with the same issue so i am going to buy the ati 9800pro today... yaaay.... so that should solve it for me i think .. any way i thank you all again for the help much appreciated
