Nvidia's VIDEO card drivers can be downloaded here. Select your video card to download the right drivers.

Have you tried downloading the latest drivers from tyan? I also have a tyan board but I was too lazy and just installed the drivers from the CD which works. It should be up on their website. You also could try flashing your motherboard bios to make sure it supports the latest video card. I'm not familiar with that motherboard. Is it a dually?

Went to Tyan.They redirect you right to VIA page that tells me to download 4in1 driver.Same one I have tried ten times with no luck.There must be a something I am mixing..I went into bios and looked around.All the settings look fine.Compared to the ones nvidia recommends.It is not a dually.Thanks again for the help Wayne

the via vt 82c686a you mentioned is the southbridge chipset. I think the northbridge controls graphics processing, at least for this motherboard. I think your motherboard doesn't support 8X and that's why you might have a problem. Your bios settings may be okay but it is prolly outdated. From what you've given me your motherboard is either Trinity KT w/ kt-133 chipset or Trinity KT-A w/ KT-133A chipset. Here is the bios download page from Tyan. http://www.tyan.com/support/html/bios_support.html
Go to bios settings by pressing delete or some other keys that would get you in. From here, you should see your bios version on the top of the page. It should be revision v 1.08 for Trinity KT and rvision v 1.13 for Trinity KT-A. New bios update may fix it sine most manufacturers update their products to support new technology via bios flashing. If you do have the new bios, then I'm running out of ideas with what information you've given me. Someone else here might be of greater help.
P.S.
Be careful when flashing your bios.

Sorry I can't be much help. Since no one else seems to be responding, maybe you could try re-posting in the hardware forum. Any more info you could give me?

you should be using the MSI live update 3, and remember to switch off your anti virus or you will not get the downloads
