Sounds like its either a bad video card, bad bus slot or other, look here.

you probably just needed to reseat it. a bad connection can do that.
Also, some boards that use PCI-E 1.1 and sometimes that can have issues with PCI-E 2.0 ans 2.1 cards. example, someone said that a 4850 doesn't work in a P5N-E Sli because of that. well my 4850 worked perfectly, but the card was faulty. my 5770 doesn't have issues.
I think a BIOS update would have solved that anyway.

um..did a bios update... no dice..
the card is actually making the pc slower than before.. lol
I thought it was my psu not supplying enough juice...
the error still comes inonce in a while...
maybe it's the mobo, who knows...
guess i will have to solve this one on my own..
