i have cleaned and reseated the vid card and all the power connections, I'm really thinking it's eitehr my new PSU or my vid card, but my vid card *was* working fine, even with the faulty PSU, unless the last shutdown from the psu fried my card, which is a possibility and honestly, i hope that's what it is. I'm going to pick up an ultra cheap agp card tomorrow to see and if that works, i'll just order a 6600gt or maybe a 6800gt, something under $200 that is as good as or better than my 9800 pro.
Thanks for all the help
