OK so I got a new/used mb and processor. SO i had to reinstall everything.

I installed COD4.

When I go to play I just get a black screen BUT i still hear the sound as if its starting up. I can even here when my mouse goes over the buttons but I CANT SEE ANYTING!!!!

Someone please help!!!!

OK I tried new drivers. No LUCK

I also installed 2142: the beginning start up movies work BUT the login screen is all GRAY. and its the same thing I can here just can't see.

I ALSO tried running 3dmark06: it ran only the screen was ALL BLACK like COD4. BUT when it was done I STILL got a Score.

I have: asus MOBO, Opteron 165 939 CPU, 2gb RAM, AGP 7800 GFX card, Windows xp home ed.

Here's what i've tried so far:
- New Drivers
- Reinstalling the game
- Re installing the drivers again
- Reinstalling the Vid card
- Running driver cleaner pro
- installed 2142
- installed and ran 3dmark06
- THIS: https://activision.custhelp.com/cgi-bin … _topview=1
- running antivirus scan
- running nvidia's stress test
- looking in bios although i don't really know what i was looking for
- changing the resolution
- changing refresh rate
- begging & Pleading
- Praying
- Yelling

EVERYTHING ELSE WORKS FINE

HERE's what I have left to try.
- Reinstalling windows
- Kicking it
- throwing it out the window
- I'm first going to try to install a new wire for my monitor. I don't know what else to try.

If you had no problems before getting the new motherboard, then that is most likely the culprit.  Could be a faulty AGP slot or the card itself could be faulty.  The processor wouldn't be causing it.  Have you checked the video card temperature?
