Problem with Video Card

[Coro Dominicano]

I just recently build my computer, after finishing the installation everything seemed perfect. Then I turned off the computer and started organizing the numerous cables I have in my desktop, arranged them nicely and moved the computer around. After I connected everything and turned on the power, everything booted correctly except the video card, the monitor just kept blinking as it usually does during boot up. After numerous restarts it worked and I got to windows, only to notice that the background had some strange lines in it. Then a Vpu error appeared on screen. I have tried everything, installing newer drivers, double-checking monitor cables for connection etc. Right now it is working properly after numerous shutdowns, but if I move the computer it just freezes and a vpu error appears. What can be happening?

It is currently connected throw a DVI to VGA adapter to my monitor

Here is what i would do. First reseat the video card. Make sure its in their real tight. Push hard. Then go ahead and reconnect the molex connector and make sure that is tight. Also are you overclocking at all?

 

[Coro Dominicano]

No I am not overclocking to my knowlegde, but I did got a "your overclocking Settings have been corrupted going back to default" error during startup. Evrything is seated and connected tightly.

sounds like something might not be set right in your bios. You might want to set your bios back to default if your problems continue.

The bios in the card or the system?

well do you get the message when you get into windows or when you boot up the computer on the AMI bios page? IF its on the AMI screen then thats your actual motherboard bios.
