i just built a computer and i put a high end graphics card into the system now after 4 days the color even is the start up (bios) is completely different, i have completely lost green and yellow.
i know it is not the monitor i hooked it up to another tower, the graphics card is what i thought next but no i replaced that with a another one and still the same prob, i don't really know how the graphics display actually works so, what to do?? i also flashed my bios and used even updated driver and software but nothing. i motherboard doesn't have a built in graphics card so what is the next logical step?
any ideas??
the only thing i can think of is that the motherboards has the prob but it is only 5 to 7 days old. remember this is a brand new comp i just put together.

if used 2 different videocards but in the same slot than the slot is the problem which means replace the motherboard.

ok, 2 different videocards in 2 different slots & still get same problem whether in bios or windows points to a board problem not a driver problem. replace motherboard.
