DVI port/high res not working?

i just got my DS system earlier today, hooked it up abit ago and for some reason my monitor is stuck at 1280x1024 resolution, its a 23" 1920x1080 though.

so i thought it might be the display drivers
went to LG site and got the drivers
tried to install them and i got a 'failed to install' message

i tried my native DVI cable and got no signal coming from it , im using the DSUB > DVI adapter right now

also something i noticed, i dont see any kind of software/drivers for my GTX 275's , it doesnt show up in CPUID either, anyone got any ideas?

heres my specs

yeah they both have yellow

'Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)'

well.. did some self diagnosis of it, i re seated the vid cards and when i put them back in i noticed artifacts appearing everywhere, from bios to windows load. took out 1 card and now everything is fine 1920x1080 res and i can see the temps of the one card in CPUID. i guess i got 1 bad card.. or shipping was just too hard on it

gonna call tech support tomarrow and maybe get a replacement sent out
DVI port is now working on the one card also

probably not needed now but ill post it anyways




EDIT: sarah also diagnosed it as a bad card, new one on the way soon hopefully
