    I had to do that but I also had to run XpPro in VGA mode by pressing F5 at load up and then install the driver to get mine fully working.

    disconnect all drive cables from motherboard & remove all cards except for video & 1 stick of ram. reseat those 2 plus the 2 power connectors from the power supply. clear the cmos & make certain in proper position according to manual, of course all this being done with power cable disconnected. reconnect power, restart computer & post results

    I would recommend also that you re-install your RAM. If I touch mine, it will knock off my monitor, they are that delicate!
