asylum geforce 5600 installation problems

[tengoku]

hello,

i purchased this video card yesterday . . . the previously installed card
was an Excalibur Radeon 9000, 128mb. I removed all the ATI drivers,
installed the new card and booted with the install cd in. it got to about
52%, then hung up. i rebooted, and got to the desktop - saw my desktop for
about 1 sec, then the monitor went blank. i rebooted in safe mode, ran NFR,
Detonator R.I.P. and Driver Cleaner - still no go! i installed the latest
drivers from the Nvidia site, even went to Guru3d.com and got the latest one
from there, with the same results . . . any ideas? my motherboard is
running the latest version of its BIOS as well . . .

my system:
asus 7v133 motherboard
1 gig ram, 80 and 40 gig hard drives
windows xp pro

A complete reformat I always think is in order when you upgrade a video card, especially when you change brands.

well, i got it to work . . . kind of . . . now, whenever i go to run the madonion 3dmark program, it does that same "monitor shut off" shite . . . i ran dxdiag and it did the same thing on the first direct3d test. any more suggestions?

Update your DirectX?

i unplugged everything from all the pci slots . . . it still only made it to the dragonback demo on 3dmarkse2001, and sometimes not even that far . . . right now i'm following the directions here:
