Problems

Well , they won't change the motherboard, because they don't care that it doesn't support that processor. They said: " You choose the parts. And it's your fault they don't work. We never recommend computer parts. " BUT! They'll make an exception this time and they'll try on a new graphics card. They'll make sure it works and they'll change the old one. Hopefully i'll have it till Friday.

I have good and bad news.

Good News: I can play every game.
Bad News: My screen is too bright.

Even when the brightness was at 0 my screen was really bright. It's fine when i play a game or when i watch a movie. But when i'm working on the desktop is really bright. I don't know what to do. Help?

Already did. Still the same. Maybe it's the graphics card?

Do you have ATI Catalyst software installed? if you do are you changing the brightness/contrast settings on that software or on the actual monitor.

It seems like real bad luck to have everything working finally and have a problem like the screen being too bright.

But yes- Post that info when you can!

I know! I've tried 3 times to upgrade my computer over 3 years and always something comes up.

But now i have good news. =D I re-installed Windows XP Pro SP3 32bit Edition and it still had the same brightness problem. But then it remembered something about my monitor. It just random turns White Balance off. So i checked the White Balance settings and i was right. Problem fixed. But i'll still post my DxDiag and MsInfo. Maybe there are more problems.

*EDIT*
DxDiag
MSINFO
