What OS r u running?

Make sure the onboard video is disabled.
make sure Windows is all up to date.
Make sure you have directX installed.
Make sure you have the latest video drivers installed as well.

Did you do a fresh install of your OS? If not you really probably should, especially if your switching mobo drivers and video card drivers.
