    Hello.
    Yestarday i upgraded my motherboard and processor. I am having a problem with my graphics card. It works fine until i load a game. I have sound but no display, just a black screen. I have tryed uninstalling the graphics drivers and installing the latest ones, also i have tryed with the drivers that came with the graphics card (graphics card is not new). Does anyone know why this could be ? I have tryed with two identical graphics cards and still the same problem. And yes it is compatible.

    Here is what i upgraded to. Asus A8V-X Motherboard and a AMD 64 3500+.

    Please help if you can.

    Thank you.

    More than one. Guild Wars, Call Of Duty 2, Ground Controll.

    None are working :-(

    With Tiger Woods 2005 it partly loads no text but i get the basic interface and the curser. Also with GW i get the curser but nothing else.

    With Call Of Duty 2 and Tiger Woods, it also plays the intro for the games, but nothing happens after that... :(

    Nvidia 256MB GeForce FX 5700LE - AGP graphics card. Yes the moniter is able to be played on the card, because i used the graphics card for months with the old Motherboard and cpu. Not sure cards max resoultion but it can run at 1024x768 fine, the games resolution can be changed, but to do that you have to be able tto see the interface.

    I have tryed setting my computer to the lowest resolution changing the colour to 16bit and lowering the hardware acceleration a little, still no sucess.

    I have also tryed loading the game in safe mode but no difference.
