Okay, so I've resolved the issue, I think. I went in and uninstalled all display drivers while in safe mode and rebooted my computer. After installing the newest drivers from the EVGA website, and running the dual monitor wizard, I have both screens. Yay. Odd thing is, though, that I tried that...

Okay, well, I've done the usual sleuthing on this problem and have come up empty. I leave it in your hands. I am running twin ViewSonic VX922 LCD monitors on my machine. When I turn the computer on, the ExpressGate, Splash Screen and Windows Loading Screens all show up on the left monitor...

Oh, good lord. Nevermind- it was the sound drivers of all things. I updated my sound drivers and they both load and play fine.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling my video drivers (through safe mode, of course), and still no luck. I haven't had a chance to try to install any other games as of yet, but I'm going to be reinstalling WoW soon. I'll let you know if that works or not.

I'm having a problem with both CS:S and HL2. They both crash at the fuzzy loading screen. CS:S simply exits without any fanfare whatsoever while HL2 exits with the "Windows has encountered a problem" thingee. I've been playing CS:S for a long time now, and I picked up a 6800GT the other day...

Thanks! :)

I've always leaned to nVidia. :) I plan on playing WoW (and other MMOs), AOEIII, Black & White 2, maybe one of those new first person shooters (haven't decided which one I'd like to try, yet).

I see. Thanks for your help! :) Hopefully I'll have that new video card soon, then. (Once I figure out which one I want. :) )

Sounds good, thanks. But with the massive difference in price... Is there something I should know, or should I find what's cheap and grab that? :)

Is newegg a good place to grab these cards? I'm seeing an incredible range of price on what appears to be the same card. From like $140 to $370... Any help there? :)

Okay. I will be the first to admit that I don't know the technical details of vid cards.. Honestly, a lot of these indepth video card threads (while very helpful to those who understand it) are over my head. To cut to the chase... I'm looking for a new video card. Something that I can run at...
