The card works okay before I install the driver.

Once I install the driver the card works fine but as soon as the windows screen loads everything goes black.

The video card is a Matrox G450 PCI. However I had the exact same problem when I tried to install a different PCI video card so I know it has something to do with the computer and not the card. Any ideas?

Was the PC working ok and then you changed cards and it started acting up.

or

Are you trouble shooting a PC that already has a problem.

It was working great until I tried to switch cards. If I switch back to the onboard video it works fine again. If I check the status of the new video card under the device manager it says it has the latest driver and is working properly..
