Hey, well this is my first post and I really need some input from you guys out there for this one.
Well here is the story, I was unscrewing a computer-to-calculator connecting cable from the back on my case and had to use a screwdriver to unscrew it. Anyway, when I was unscrewing I slipped smacked the case with my screwdriver, not too hard but it did hit it. Now I'm not sure if this is what caused the troubles or it was because I just unscrewed it without uninstalling any of the software which was needed for the cable to work.
Next tiem I turned on my computer it would just load asking for the safe mode, start windows normally or start with the last known settings that worked screen.
Anyway none worked for me except for the safe mode (with networking) as when I chose any of the others my screen would just turn off (not turn off but go as it would when you make your computer go into sleep mode).
So after two reformats (1st one was wierd) I was installing everything again. When it got to my ATI drivers, it just did not work... (I have a Powercolor 9600XT graphics card with a Asus Mainboard - P4P800 Deluxe)
I get this error when trying to install the display driver:
and when it restarts my monitor would do the same old *turn off* (to sleep like mode).
Now, I am looking at getting a new graphics card, would this be the right thing to do or would it be my motherboard or what?
Any opinions?
Thankyou very much.

, try going into safe mode and reinstalling whatever drivers its asking you for (but different versious, like ones off the ati website, even if their old drivers if you have to, just get it working an then you can find out what the prob is
