If you have reinstalled new drivers be sure you have deleted the old ones BEFORE you install the new ones. If you have access to another PSU (one of greater power and quality) I would attempt to see if the PSU was the problem. With 2 harddrives and that new videocard it may just be too much for that psu to handle.

OK - here's what I did and it is working now! I uninstalled everything named ATI, drivers, Hydravision, etc...only to have the same problem. So I went into BIOS and selected the Video Card memory size to be 256MB where it was 64MB. I also had the OS handle PnP devices instead of BIOS. Anyway...it WORKS now!

Thanks for the help.
