[FIXED]500K Reward For The Right Solution!

[Custom]

Yes you heard it, 300K reward to the guy that gives me the help I need.
Ok, let's start.
I have bought a brand new Graphic Card which is called ASUS AH3650 Silent, with 512 MB.
I use the CD that followedd with the graphic card to install the drivers, and ultilities.
The problem goes like this:
If I dont have any Serive Packs installed, then it does work 100%, without any sort of problems...
But if I have SP2 or 3 installed, then it get's all missed up... The screen start flickering constantly, and the computer takes about 5 mins extra to start up.
A pop-up window comes up sometimes, it shows something like "The settings to your graphic card has been ressted, your computer will now restart". That screen ups every single time I start up my com, even if I havent changed anything...
I also can't start games like San Andreas or any other games at all...
Here's a video I have uploaded, taken by phone.. It can be hard to see what that little pop-up shows on that video, but this is what it shows "No Signal Input"...

I don't wanna hear such things as the graphic card is defective. It works 100% when there arent any updates for Windows XP installed...
Its thoose damn updates that f***s up everything. Don't tell me that I shall remove them, I wont, cause I need em, for work and such things.
I guess that's enough information about the problem?

Remember guys! 300K reward to the guy that gives me the right solution!
Now, let's see who the lucky guy will be.
Good Luck!

Best Regards

Try formatting your HDD, re-install XP, and put on SP2 and see if you have the same problem.

Tried plenny of times, same problem appears

Try to download the latest OR older drivers for your graphic card.

Scan your WHOLE PC for viruses with a GOOD anti-virus program.

Test some another graphic card on your computer.

If NOTHING helps, send the PC to the store where you bought it from for repair.

Tried every driver I could fine, same problem with all of em

Are you sure your motherboard and psu can handle the gfx card?

Is the videocard with nvidia?

[Bilbo]

Same what Wash said, also, I edited my post. Test them. :P

[Kitt815]

Try letting your windows update ALL updates, via windows update in the start menu

Also try updating your BIOS drivers

No idea.

Well, you shouldnt have any viruses after you format your computer I also install the driver directly after installed Windows XP, so no chance for that my com can be attacked by virusses...

Also try updating your BIOS drivers

Windows Update doesnt find any updates for Hardware, I have also runned some Diagnostic tests, didnt find any updates..

I know much about computers.

1) Is power supply enough powerful for it?
2) Try to check, if graphics card cooler is working correctly.
3) Check video cable from graphics card to display.
4) Is graphics card correctly in slot?
5) What motherboard you have?

I think the problem is power supply or cooler..
Try these.

maybe a windows vista bug , i heard some versions are really bugged, you can try installing XP or different version of Vista

Try these.

1) The graphic card requires 350W I got a power supply of 450W
2) Yes, they works crrectly.
3) Checked, and they're plugged in as they should.
4) Yes.
5) No idea, but the old graphic card I used were AGP 8x, this is also a AGP 8x, if thats what you were going to look at?


People! Think about this, the graphic card works COMPLETELY without any problems.
When it gets into theese problems, is when I install updates for Windows...
So, everything is plugged in correctly.
I THINK it has something to do with the driver, but I have tried to reinstall many times, doesnt help
And btw, I am using Windows XP, thats just a theme I have installed (tried to install the drivers without it, but same problem).
