Okay after checking my notes and going through everything from the beginning I have resolved this issue.

It was the BIOS.
I was running Version F6a
Latest Version was F9
I must have seen F9...

Confirmed:

I just re-installed the 8GB of memory
System froze upon bootup
Went into safe mode
ran xfix
up and running
no nvidia drivers working

This must be an issue with having over 4GB...

Okay I got home and opened up my system. Took out the 8GB of memory and re-installed the 2GB of memory I had before. The issue is not with the card as I am currently running SL in the background and...

I am wondering if anyone in the community knows?

I have 8GB of RAM installed on this System. Is there the possibility the kernel is somehow messed up with that much memory. The video card has 1GB...

Okay updates since my last post:

Installed XP 64-bit onto a 20GB partition
Installed Ubuntu 9.04 64-bit onto the rest

I wanted to wait to see if anyone had replied to this post before messing...

To be clear I do not hate Linux but it can be very frustratinig for those who do not know how to use it. Therin lies the problem.

As for drivers I have tried so many methods to get the Nvidia...

Update:

I decided to test and see if the issue is the card.

Created a 20GB partition for XP 64-bit
Installed all drivers and updates
Only issue is occasional crashes with Second Life
...

Okay after messing with the setting I am now getting an error message on boot about the Nvidia Drivers failing to load and running in low resolution.

Still working on fixing this after three days

I tried the xorg.conf file you sent me and I edited out the lines that relate to the dual monitor support and the same issue persisted

Software is worthless unless it works out of the box.
Software is worthless unless there is actual support.

To make Linux really shine what should be done is all of the forum posts, every single...

Hey Happyfeet could you post your xorg.conf file for me?

Thank you for responding....

I've run memtest and have not found any errors on the system. The funny thing is the card works flawlessly in Windows XP 64 so I doubt very highly that it is an error...

Run update manager

logged back in
went to System -> Admin -> Hardware Drivers...

Tested the new DVI cable. Issue persists. I also seem to be the only person posting in my post....

Tested the DVI connector with a dvi-vga converter and video is not being sent to the DVI port.

I am going to stop by the store later today and am going to pick up a dvi cable and see if it helps.

Just attempted this:
