I,ve tried all that davidst really nothing works and i dont have the same motherboard he has, but as stated above i had the same problem.

So it's really something with the video card, only god aherm! ATI knows what it is

ok, after wondering what to do before blowing $100+

i went to ATIs webpage and downloaded a new driver and the ATI Catalyst software

this somehow made everything back to normal

 

currently the card is working awesome, but i am still going to look into a new card
