ok i am back again this the problem.
it was working fine for a week or 2 but once again the computer will not start correctly with the 3d card in. i went to BB today and exchanged it for a new one thinking that maybe there was something wrong with the card but that didnt work.
here is what happens when i start the computer. when i press the power button, the cd drive keeps making this buzzing noise before it starts up (never did that before). when the drive makes that noise i know that the 3d card will not display anything cause it never does. it will only display something when it does not make that buzzing noise. i can however unplug the monitor from the 3d card and plug it back into the onboard VGA port and the monitor will work.
i am just about ready to give it to some computer repair place and have them fix it cause im getting annoyed with this. the card does not even feel warm to me i dunno if it is not working or the fan is just keeping it really cool?
