-Then i installed the video card drivers

This is link to official emachine drivers http://www.emachines.com/support/pro...es&model=W3107

with the chipset drivers these need to be installed first - then RESTART the comp then install any other drivers.

is you monitor plugged into an expansion slot - see here - click image to focus
