First try to install the driver for the card,you use cd or have take link from Nvidia homepage shttp://images.nvidia.com/products/geforce_gtx_470/geforce_gtx_470_3qtr_low.png
or rollback and be careful and do it again step by step,

Hmm, never had this issue, but I have a 480, which might be why.

good luck, when they run right these 400s are great cards.

Sorry getting late here. Had to get a laugh or two reading a few idiot and gay posts here on other threads.

Hope you have good news. Was maybe thinking Mobo prob. Only slightly tho.

Your other card wasn't giveing you a prob. Soooo....?

Trail and error testing or take it to a PRO.$$$$$$

Tell me about it, I remember the days I just took components of my Mobo with my bare hands to give the case a inside clean up.

nowadays you'll have to wear these anti-static gloves and you better don't give any components a odd look as he might fry itself

and video cards are the drama queens of todays computers...a minor mistake can cost you a lot of $$$
