    First of all, slow down. Everything just ran into one there.

    Next, what's going on? You aren't seeing any kind of dos/character display?

    And when you say it's "unstable even in VGA mode", how do you mean unstable. The video is just blanking out? Are you getting corrupt screens?

    A few things - are you overclocking? Did you completely uninstall any old drivers?

    To me it sounds like the card's bios is corrupt. And that can be fixed.

    Where did you buy it, can you return it?

    What kind of system, what kind of monitor?

        yep - sounds like a corrupted bios to me. You can program your bios through windows now usint ubioswin.exe. Give that a go.
