http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128578awesome thanks manive also had the worst night ever trying to get this thing WORKING. I put in the new card and powersupply and the computer would start up and shut down in about 2 seconds. I then rewired some stuff and put in my old card, it now boots up but regardless of the setting i choose (safe mode, last succesful recovery, etc.) it just goes to a black screen with my cursor. I also cannot get it to respond to f11 at the start up screen to perform a system recovery. I dont have the vista DISK so i cant reinstall that way. any POSSIBLE fix ?

.. ill post this as a question on the forum if it helps and i tried ooking at other fixes but they dont work on mine.
