I would go with the monitor, since it presents the same problem with different cards.
One more question: did you use the same cable to try it on both cards? If you did, you might want to check the cable as well. Sometimes a stupid error is caused by faulty cables. _________________

I've only used one card. I don't think it's the monitor, because it only freaks out when 3d apps are running like games. I can run all the 2d apps I want, photoshop, etc, watch movies even, just fine.
A friend of mine suggested it may be DirectX blown up, and I think he's onto something. Unfortunately, there's no good easy way to uninstall DirectX as Windows considers it part of the system. I've got a tool that says it can do it, but requires the original CD, and warns that it could just end up blowing things up worse.
Sooo... I'm in the process of backing up (a monumental task) and if I can actually manage to get most of it backed up I'll just flatten the box and start over. _________________

I'm going to give the redist installer a whirl and see if it'll actually replace the core files like it says. The web installer is useless hehe. _________________
