No worries, The lesson here is... Acer motherboards are lame!

PS: If I were to bet, I would say its the EFI thing! Try playing with the priority cause idk, that might work.

Lol as I was about to pack up the video card I found this:

Important Notice essentially stating that the 700 series works with most motherboards but in rare cases it's recommended to update my mobo bios to the latest version.

Ill give this a quick go, I know you helped me a lot but can you get me pointed in the right direction as to how I do this and how I get all the exact information so I can update it?

At this point it seems risky and I think you said in a post I may fuck up my entire computer.

K well I can certainly help you point to the right direction, basically just go here:

http://ca.gateway.com/gw/en/US/content/drivers-downloads

And then search your computer's model number which is DX4870 I believe and then you click on the model number and then Bios once it finds it. After that, download the update and extract it, then u run the GUI application as admin in the folder under WIN and then u put the ROM in there thats in the ROM folder and then click the Flash Button

But I HIGHLY recommend not doing this unless you are sure that its the right model number, BIOS and everything! If anything goes wrong, your computer will literily be a BRICK without anyway to recover!!
