Quoth The Raven; JimboG in

Tried your fix but no luck. I'm convinced the card is flakey. I
failed to mention I had the same symptoms on a CRT and LCD using both
digital and analog inputs on the LCD (ViewSonic VP191b). I filled
out a problem form for MSI and will FAX it over today to see what
they can do for me. First time in 20 years I had a bad video card. NVIDIA
based cards always seemed to be pretty dependable.

I bought this one and a 256mg XFX card as the primary one. I had no end of
troubles making them match up as they are of different memory types, they
didn't want to SLI, let alone give me a display. turned out I had the peg2
set as primary init display in the bios instead of peg, and I needed to add
"coolbits value 18" in the registry, and then delete the 2 files from NVIDIA
direct access and all is well.

Some people keep repeating the same mistakes over and over and call it
experience.
