ah ok. Jiffy, do you have an sis board? There was an old issue of this card doing the same thing I found on the nvidia site of this card doing the same thing because of something with the sis board. It was fixed a long time ago but maybe it got messed up again because the older drivers after the fix work but the newest ones don't work right for my card. I guess computers are sensitive and it could be a million things going wrong. Well, I am ok running the older drivers for now, doesnt seem to have any adverse effects. I know it is a good card because I read up on it and I got it for only 100 dollars on ebay. I think that is a good buy.
