Still did not solve the problem. I am going to try one last thing, and that is, I will replace the video card with a GeForce 9800 series, not sure which manufacturer. Since a lot of the companies use NVIDIA chips anyway, is ASUS EN9800GT HB/HTDI PCIE 2.0 GEFORCE 9800GT 512MB DDR3 256- BIT DUAL DVI-I HDTV comparible in quality and price.
