Have you the most recent video card drivers installed? Go to the MSI GeForce site and get their driver. Also uninstall the radeon driver and reboot with new vid card.

Yes, I have tried all that, the drive will not install because it can't find the video card { GeForce}.radeon driver was uninstalled, but it will not go away it shows in device manager every time

sure video card is right pin set for that board. Check see if that board will take that card. If so go to add device when asked for drivers load them from your cd if you have it . If you dont have them get them from card manufacture .

Also, you may need to use the Radeon software to remove the old video card driver.....it's a PITA but I have also assumed that the vid card you purchased is compatible with your motherboard.
