arcticking :
Troubleshoot first, then upgrade.
My motherboard had not recognized my card either, but I somehow figured it out and made it work.
Google the keywords of your problem:
(A8R32-MVP does not recognize graphics card)
or
(motherboard does not recognize graphics card)
EDIT: This person has the same problem as you on this forum.

He had to do a complete upgrade of his system, but in the case of the last user that posted, he switched his HD 5770 with a GTX 260 (because of the 1GB ram) issues? But I believe its a problem with your PCI-E slot on your motherboard. It is x1.0 am I correct? If so, you need to upgrade that mobo.
I am running a 850 watt Thermaltake power supply and a AMD ATHALON 64 4000 cpu and 2 gigs of corsair ddr pc 3200.
The operating system is xp 64 bit.
Well I think you found my problem with the other persons post looks like a new motherboard for me thanks everyone for the help[/b].
