Default suggestions for a mobo
What motherboard would go well with my Phenom X4 II 940 and GTX 260 216?

Thanks Juggalo! but yeah... i think the AMD chipset and onboard graphics drivers are conflicting with the Nvidia drivers and my GTX that's why it's not working.
I do have a good mobo but i need a compatible one. I either get a new mobo or a new card. but i do like my card.

That problem can be easily solved by installing a new OS and installing the nvidia drivers first OR just put Windows 7 Beta and your done! Why spend more money when you can solve that problem EASY!

Yes... Install windows 7 as OS or just reinstall Vista and then install nvidia drivers first! After that install the mobo drivers and you should be OK! Why the hell throw money out of the window :|
