I installed it already and still the same thing happens. I also tried installing the latest version of the driver but the computer still freezes and shows white screen.

The computer freezes after reboot, just after displaying welcome. This happened twice already.

before you open or unplug anything look @ the back of your computer box and see where your monitor cable plugs in(the one with the pins-thats your signal cable)now that you've seen where it plugs in open your box and see from the inside if the connector (where the cable is connected to )if its actually soldered to your motherboard or is it on a seperate card
