Video card problem?

[glennxx1]

Recently i've been having issues with what i believe is my video card. The only cable going to the monitor is the DVI from my 9800 GX2, and i can see and do just about anything besides run video games, i guess anything that requires direct x? Anyways, under the device manager, both cores have the yellow triangle reporting an error, and the code that it's reporting is Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)

The card seemed to work fine after I reformatted my computer and installed windows 7, but after i rebooted, i couldn't access NVidia control panel, and the code 43 popped up. I tryed 4 different drivers, the oldest, the newest beta, and nothing fixed it. So I figured it was just incompatible with windows 7.
So i reformatted it again, and installed vista again; once again the computer worked fine until i rebooted it. And then the code 43 came back up, and i started experiencing the same problems.

Could there be anything besides the card itself thats broken? perhaps the motherboard?

I've been running the same setup since 2007
CPU - q6700
motherboard - asus striker extreme
4gigs of ram
video card - 9800gx2

Question Windows Vista: Code 43 Error in Device Manager in Systems with ATI AGP Cards and Nforce3 Chipset Motherboards

Answer Symptoms:
Attempting to install the graphics driver on a system containing an NVidia NF3 chipset and an ATI AGP graphics adapter may result in the driver failing to install and the 3D engine not activating.
In Windows Vista 32bit or 64bit versions, the Device Manager will show a (!) mark and the AGP card will operate in PCI mode only. When the properties of the device are shown, the error code will show as code 43.
Solution:
NVIDIA has determined that this issue is specific to nForce3 based systems utilizing AMD Athlon X2 dual core CPU's and running Microsoft Vista. The NVIDIA nForce3 core logic predates multi-core CPU's and was not designed to support them. As a result this problem will not be resolved via drivers or system bios updates. At this time the only known solutions to this issue under Microsoft Vista is to use a single core processor, or to upgrade to a newer motherboard platform.


or one other option try this driver.
