hey guys i got 2 problems
1. i have a a7n8x-x motherboard with a 9800 pro in it but when i boot there is loads of colours all over the screen so i put a older card in it and it works fine.
is this a conflict issue, do i need to install some new drivers or update the bios

2. the other problem is when i boot with my 1 of my hardrives in i get a blue screen so i had a look at it and it looks like 1 of the pins has bin pushed in half way does this meen it is dead or is this a conflict issue or somthing?

thanks guys if you can help
