March 28, 200916 yr uninstall the drivers for ur video card then restart. or after you uninstall, shut your PC down then open your case and remove the video card. start your PC back up then shut it back down and put the card back in then start your PC up again, it should tell you it found new hardware and its installing it.

Take off the fan plate. Your vid card might be overheating like a "mother fucker" if it can't cool itself. If you can't start it for 10 minutes then it's most likely a heating issue. or maybe something else. Edited March 30, 200916 yr by [myg0t]BUTT_PLUG
