Hey,

Thanks for the idea though I have the web addresses already for the drivers to all the hardware. Good idea though for those that don't know what to look for in drivers.

Just a small update on my situation. I thought about trying out a different version of Windows so for testing reasons only I used a copy of my offices Windows 2003 Server. It loaded but with the same exact problem as XP Pro.

I then installed Ubuntu. The only thing I have to do with it is while it's installing make it boot in Low Res by doing a Scan option and choosing "0" which is "80x25" text or setting VGA to 640x480. Once it boots though it switches itself to 1280x1024 on it's own.

This tells me that the card, notherboard and cpu are still working but with a slight bug somewhere.

Just to let you know I appreciate all the ideas you have come up with so far.
