well the mobo is brand new, hasnt even been used for 2 weeks. so im assuming that the pci-e slot is ok as well. if it is a hardware issue then it hast to be the GC. it has been used in another computer before mine, its pretty much a hand me down. well then again it may need additional power as you've stated although i doubt it because its not a strong card its only a radeon x1600 pro 256mb. usually a card that needs a separate power plug in needs 400 watts or more so the 300 watts i have should do the trick but then again who knows better to check right. by the way i do appreciate everyones help on this so thank you
hmmm i may need a 350 watt Psu... but that was said for a "sapphire ultimate" x1600 pro 256 mb i cant seem to find one for my exact GC but going by that it said 350 watts for system stability
