Hey Broni,  
  You were so totally right about graphics problem.  (the diagonal stripe one)
Took out the crappy video card (free one). Couldn't get a decent driver to work
with it. Sis300, terrible graphics card, driver kept making me crash and I couldn't
play any of the games i liked.  My fps was like 2.  I spent hours reading.  So, took
out bad card, changed the bios, and viola, nvidia motherboard with nvidia chipset
exactly same as nvidia graphics card.  YAY!!!  I am pretty darn excited right now.
So THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!

I'm glad, it worked for you
In the future, the best way is to continue in your old thread (link above). I found this post by accident...
