Sorry, but of course I have to ask....

You did get the latest Nvidia drivers from the nvidia website, yes? Not the ones on the disc that came with the card.

I know you said you upgraded your power supply, but did you get a big enough PSU to accomodate both the card and everything else on your PC?

Even after upgrading my PSU when installing my X1950 Pro, it wouldn't run, because there wasn't enough power to run the new card, and two disc drives, two hard drives, a Physics card, a sound card, etc.

With a brand new card, it's either not enough power, overheating (you did say after 6 minutes of time), or driver conflicts.

i went from a power supply of 2.79 to 500 watts and the card should handle silent hunter 4 perfectly inst the card I bought an upgrade from the ati raedon x1600 pro because thats what best buy told me

Do you have the "Orders_Bar_Al1" mod installed?
If you do, then remove it to see if that is your problem.

Some tips:

I had trouble with them intro movies in
\Data\Movies\Intro

After deleting them game boots allrite.

That was an issue with some codecs, I've read it somewhere in teh internets.
You may want to move those elsewhere just to test how it goes.

Also, when installing them drivers, using a tool that removes the crap
old drivers leave behind is what I do.

Driver cleaner, or whatever it was called.
I think guru3d has it atleast.
