Aside from updating your bios, go into Device Manager and check the Resources the card is using. You looking to see if the I/O & Memory Ranges are close to those of another device. If so, try changing the offending values. My rule of thumb is to pick a range and click up 5 times from there; return to selected range, and click down 5 times. If no other devices show up within the ranges I scanned, I return to my selected range and leave it there. This has solved some problematic display issues I've had in the past (notably Matrox cards).
