did you flash the bios yourself? are there any other probs apart from the graphics?

sorry for late reply bakes1, i must have missed this post , reinstall the graphics and the sound drivers under compatibility mode http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/316-compatibility-mode.html one of the 2 drivers is causing a conflict
