im pretty sure thats being caused by a conflict in vid cards, im assuming you put in your sweet xmas present, you should be able to boot windows in safe mode, and go to the device manager, make sure your new card is activated and that its the only one thats active

hope that helps, i have had similar problems and they made me wanna pull my hair out

I think what the problem was...is that I kept messing with the settings, etc...and it somehow was reading nvidia settings or something...im not really sure...but it all works great now...so im happy!
