Freezes on startup with new graphics cards
I just installed a new graphics card, which was working fine, when one day I turned on the computer and everything on the screen was stretched. So I tinkered with the resolution, and nothing happened, and finally I decided to reinstall graphics drivers. When I did the computer would freeze at the welcome screen (in windows 7 ultimate), so I went into safe mode and ran driver sweeper to uninstall the previous nvidia drivers that might be conflicting with the new ones, and to no avail. So I thought, since I was experiencing issues with this card before, it must be the card. So I got a new card and installed it's drivers and now I am stuck at the welcome screen again. It works when the drivers are not installed or active, just like in safe mode, but when I install them it freezes on startup. I've tried uninstalling, and re-installing the drivers both with the disk and with the up-to-date internet drivers.

Now sometimes it makes it to the desktop, then freezes.

Graphics cards are:

1st: Sapphire HD 5770

2nd MSI R7770

And there is an onboard nvidia card

Motherboard is: Pegatron M2N68-LA.
Preferred graphics device is PCIEx16 in bios (which corresponds to the slot that I have my card in).

Make Sure you did not Uninstall the Motherboard Chipset drivers also (are they Nvidia chipset?)

Disable the Onboard Video in Bios if possible, Select the PCI/AGP (whatever it is on your bios) First Detect to the correct option.
