sounds like your system is shorting or the bios is having issues..

Try removing the mobo battery for a few mins. see what that does if anything at all.

thanks for the input guys, i actually discovered my problem, i had to plug another 4pin connector into the MB... maybe it was underpowering.

ive installed the latest drivers and its working fantastic, best gameplay i could imagine.... Only small thing every time i boot my computer it keeps saying ''connection wizard has found new hardware" i keep telling it to piss off but it keeps coming back even tho the card is totally installed and appears to be in my control panel working perfectly.

any ideas?
