They make better drivers because that is all they do is drivers. Nvidia and ATI etc, they mostly focus on the hardware. They are a hardware company. Its like they put a barely functional driver out then update it a little bit every two weeks or so when the people who bought their video cards start screaming at them it's not doing shit it should. So they do a little work on the drivers just to keep consumers off their back but drivers are not their thing. Their thing is mainly the hardware. If you'll notice on the SciTech homepage ATI is a development partner with SciTech. Which mean ATI let's them in on the inside info on the hardware so SciTech can make the best drivers possible for it. You can get the ATI ones for free that are put together sloppily, but the SciTech ones would smoke it. And if it's free, then it didn't cost you anything. Drivers for some of the newer cards do cost money. If you don't like it, remove that POS.

And since my roommate wanted one, might as well use the second driver download I'm allowed.

SciTech offers incredible 3rd party video card drivers that exceed the manufacturers drivers in performance. I shit you not. These boys are top flight. All they do is video drivers and focus on being the best at it. Here is there HOMEPAGE I actually discovered them reading the WinQuake README. Recommended by ID no less. The best and latest ATI drivers for my card would not run WinQuake without being in the safest, crappiest mode. Otherwise my whole system would freeze. SciTech fixed all that. It now can run WinQuake balls to the wall. I am able to run videos I couldn't before. It added 15 graphics modes to my card. VBE supoort etc. From older drivers(tripled performance on old ATI MACH64 on this old PC) to drivers for the newer cards. A lot of them are FREE. Create an account, fill out the info and it will tell you if it's got the driver for your Video card. Actually, here is a list of the cards they make drivers for HEREYou are allowed I think two downloads a week so don't screw up and lose where you downloaded the drivers. Sign up and Driver Downloads.Give them a try. If your video card is listed as one they support, I don't think you'll be disappointed one bit.

No it's where Rose McGowen runs around looking fine as hell while murdering people who get in the way of her obsessive crush with her teacher.

Open it up and make sure every goddamn connection is seated well. That's gotta be what it is.
Make sure battery is in there securely.

This above post makes sense Cookie, considering the problem started after you guys got inside it and started tinkering with it.

Some of/one one the connections is a little loose. Whether it is the video card that needs seated completely [the item that stops a bootup when the heel, the part closes to the front of the computer] comes adrift through vibration, etc. Or any other connection be it a card, ram or any other electical connection in the tower.
That is why you transport the tower in such a manner that the mobo is down so the cards do not fall / vibrate out of their slots.
Seeing it is 4 years old, when was the last time the dust and junk was cleaned out? Age also says it is time to change the mobo battery.
His will be the coin cell battery shown here murfsgarage.cybertechhelp.com/cmos.htm

It sounds like a short in the power supply maybe. Replace the power supply. $15. Worst comes to worst you have an extra power supply for new PC. Go to Goodwill. Get more powerful PC than you have-$20. Getting your asswhipped online by ME. PRICELESSS

That just removes shortcuts ---__--- That should remove the whole component. Or roll it back to its earliest incarnation.
