when i first inserted the card it was working fine but when i restarted the computer after the win xp loading the screen goes black and stays like this (note:i didnot installed the drivers)i also changed some start up settings it was on system and i changed it to automatic i think that might be the prob if any one knows do tell me

Well, if you see a proper display during POST try booting into safe mode and removing the display drivers. If you can't see anything in safe mode then either your Win XP installation is damaged (which is most likely) or it's possible the card itself cannot display VGA resolution and may be damaged. The easiest thing to do is to try the card in another computer or try a different card in that computer before you go around formatting.
