i just recently found out that the cooling fan on my BFG card wasnt working properly so i when and purchased a new PNY geforce gtx 460 and for some reason it doesnt send a signal to my monitor,im sure my power supply is enough i even unpluged both DVD drives just to make sure but still no help.any help u could offer would be great.

Which Motherboard do you have, and are you using the latest BIOS version

You say your PSU can handle it, which Power supply do you have?

well, as long as i am adding in the correct cards and fans and the like ,it basicly says i am using most of my PSU about 330wattsmy power sup-ply is 500 peak watts,here is my motherboard and bios info.

i have returned the video card in question and i am asking for your opinion on how to go about updating my bois and other drivers.
i went to the Phoenix website and they will of course help me with all of that for the low ,low price of 30.00,having done some research i found a bit cheaper version called Driver boost would u recommend i use that one?i will tell u what i would like to do.. is wipe the hard drive and bios and start over updating everything along the way,any ideas are welcome cause now my PC is having other issue`s that are related to the topic i discussed with u in another forum.

why don´t you go to the asus website and donwload the latest bios and the utility to flash it? it´s very easy and almost risk free.

Edit: I had the same board myself, and i was absolutly in love with it
