post the specs of the mobo and graphics card. i suppose you've uninstalled/re-installed the display drivers? sometimes a BIOS update on the mobo can sort these problems. see what version you are on and whats the latest available.

One note: the 91.31's (NVIDIA's latest drivers) seem to be buggy, so I recommend using the 84.21's instead.
