I cleaned my computer because my cpu was overheating. I took everything out of the motherboard. When I put the video card back in once, my computer automatically found drivers and once I manually found the driver with the same result. The video card worked, until I put the drivers in and then the computer would have to restart. Well after I restarted the computer and it went past the windows, the screen would go black and white, squares and lines and it would load again with just different patterns. It repeated this process until it restarted and did it all over again. Only solution I came up with was to shut down the computer.

I did take the cpu out. I cleaned the heatsink and fan of the video card as well, thats all the further I went there. Computer specs

Amd Phenom (tm) II x4 965 Processor 3.39Ghz

My motherboard is ASRock M3A785GMH/128M
Yes it does have integrated graphics.

shut down. reset cmos. pull graphics card. hook monitor to on board graphics. boot. do stuff. what happens?As soon as that happened again, after trying it a few different ways I pulled the video card. I loaded performance defaults and the machine seems to run the exact same. There were no default bios loading options. I chose the sata/ide option.

has to be something there....... on board graphics/ something or other. i can't see your bios and it's been a while and don't remember the exact terminology to look for. Here are the options that I see somewhat related. The first is the feature, the second is the options.
Primary Graphics Adapter Onboard, PCI, PCI Express
I changed this to PCI Express when I had the card in, it was set on PCI
Internal Graphics Memory UMA, Sideport, UMA +Sideport
PCI Devices Power On Enabled/Disabled (was disabled, not sure if this means no power goes to the card)
ACPI HPET Table Enabled/Disabled
HDMI HD Audio Enabled/Disabled.
Features that I think are pretty set in stone, but who knows
PCI Latency Timer 32
PCI IDE Busmaster Enabled/Disabled.

sideport is what it is. disable all that //pci-e should be right. (disable) //HDMI disable if not using //
did you save your settings before leaving BIOS......... don't know what BIOS you have but F10-ENTER used to do it. should be instructions on bottm of screen or they pop up on new BIOS'.
when is the last time you went to windows update?

I update whenever I can, last update was today at about 1 am. I tried sideport and uma and it didn't seem to matter. I can not fully disable the feature, I have to choose uma, sideport, or uma + sideport. Yes i was sure to save the settings when I changed them.

so after resetting the cmos ( you did that right )?............ and hooking to on board graphics them machine does the same thing?so, remove all components from motherboard and then from case-(that includes processor). rebuild machine. what happens?
what power supply do you have?
There is no option for resetting bios, I just loaded default performance for sata/ide. If the choice was available, I must be completely blind. I tried pulling my motherboard off the case, when I cleaned it but could not pry it, but can pull my computer apart if you think it will be helpful. My psu is

so, did you reset the cmos?There is no reset option. I have loaded bios default performance setttings and regular default settings. On both settings my machine seems to run fine. Ill keep messing with this foxxit reader, but it seems it is just an empty pdf, I have no clue how to operate the program.
