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?
Take a look at the following link

my mothe
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.
 
BIOS Type:   Phoenix-Award   
BIOS Date:   September 22nd 2005   
BIOS ID:   09/22/2005-NF-CK804-A8NSLI-P-00-None   
BIOS OEM:   ASUS A8N-SLI Premium ACPI BIOS Revision 1008 - ASUS A8N-SLI Premium ACPI BIOS Revision 1008   
Chipset:   Athlon 1100 rev 0   
SuperIO:   ITE 8712F rev 7 at port 002E   
Manufacturer:   ASUSTeK Computer INC.   
Motherboard:   A8N-SLI Premium   
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 http://images.thetechguide.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\';)\' />
