windows XP will not certify my video card

[Steve]

Hi, I just formatted my hard drive and re-installed XP family edition and now
I istalled a new Asus video card AH3650, my problem is that Windows will not
certify the card so when I try to play games it shuts down the computer and
re-starts it.
It is very frustrating because the card is windows XP compatible and the
support line(windows) won't help me unless I pay them, any help would be
greatly appreciated

So you reinstalled winxp but didnt install manufacturers drivers.
Your card came with a drivers disk, use it
And also install drivers supplied with your sys

Did you install the driver from Asus for the card? Depending on the
version installed if prior to 05/07/08, you can download/install ver. 8452
from:
http://support.asus.com/download/download.aspx?SLanguage=en-us&model=AH3650 Series

or if that fails to get to the page, click the download tab for the card
