|  cannot load video driver New build, AMDx2 4200 Windsor, 2gigs mushkin ddr2 800 1.8volt, WD sata hd, evga 7900gs, OCZ gamestream 700 power supply, Asus M2N-e mobo. Every time I load the vga driver the screen turns opaque (real ugly)and the pallet drops to 4 bits. Asus said it was a bad memory controller and replaced the board, new board same problem, I borrowed a different brand 7900gs and loaded their driver same problem. I have updated drivers and bios than tried archived drivers, didn't help. I can use the internet and everything else with the machine but it won't let me load the video drivers any ideas appreciated been dinkin with this for 3 weeks. |

| Well you have aparrantly tried all the obvious hardware problems. How about software? Have you tried reformatting? Last edited by Nessmaster : 29th April 2007 at 16:00. |

| Yes today was my 6th delete partition, full slow format, and complete xp pro reinstall. Load drivers in safe mode still same problem. I got humble and called Asus tech again. this time they sent me up a level in tech support and told me to make sure my chipset and video drivers were updated and to check my power supply. What a joke. I'm stumped but now I'm wondering if a brand new 700 watt power supply could cause a problem like that. Thx for the help. |

| Well. You can always take the sure and long way. Test each pc component one-by-one using spare/borrowed parts. |

| Can you play games ? The PSU can indeed be a problem because it looks like the GPU is switching to some low power mode. Is the PCIe power connector connected correctly to your graphics card ? I'm just trying to find the less obvious problems, so here's another possibility: is SLI disabled in the BIOS ? |

| Yes I made sure the video card power plug was secure plus this is the second board so I double checked every connection when I reinstalled. This board is not SLI so that won't be in the bios but keep tossing ideas and thanks for tryin. |
