[HeadUp]

sure thing, we were messing around with a few things, and we just wiped the hd and started over 2x, the hd image installed was from my university had a bunch of programs, all of which are pre-registered and work fine. the shit we were trying to install over these tries were basically the nvidia chipset drivers and nvidia game drivers...he also messed around a lot with my device mgr and BIOS settings, he tried to dl and install a BIOS setting from the ASUS website. we think its either a gfx card problem or possibly a sound card problem. we are really clueless tho...neither of us is fairly familiar with hardware

i should tell you what i have in there, as far as i know, there should be no reason for shit not to work.
