A new card not working is crazy! Try to reinstall Windows and install the new drivers.

    I agree with Squall things do tend to fail when failure happens.  ::)

        If I understand Squallish correctly, Squall means to say that hardware can be broken even if it's new.

          yes we had established that, but my father says that it ether fails new or when its real old.  The only time it wont is some were in the middle but after a little thought its just when ever then.

              Hold on ... let me get this staight...

              The PC will start up and the driver version shows up at BIOS start so the card is working fine right now. And when the windows icon comes up , for loading , (little blue scroller for XP) it runs fine now right after tat part it stops working?

              are your system specs up to the job?
               Do you have enough RAM?
              Overheat on the Card?
              Hard Disc damage ?

              Itseems that the hard disc may be faulty if everything else is in order (sytem specs , heat). I thik that if you have bashed your PC around or subjected it to high static that you might have broken the hard disc. You might end up having to buy a new Hard disc and operating system if that is the case.

              mabybe there is an incompatability with your computer's software and hardware? If you run some ancient tech now (windows ME or lower probably) then something might not like it.

              Have you change d anthing else since installing the card or before installation that you would consider sigificant? Any unexpected slowdowns, shutdowns ?

              Have you perhaps ran ovr your PC with a steamroller? :)

                  It could be that Windows is trying to run your new card on the old video drivers.
                  Remove the old drivers (save them first if you don't have them on a disk) then re-boot with the new card and install the new drivers.
                  You could also try booting with the new card in safe mode as a test first.
