I have a ATI Radeon x1300 PCI express (x16) graphix card; 450MHz VPU - 256MB GDDR-2 memory at 533MHz - shader model 3.0 - VGA, DVI-I, I went into system bios and deactivated the old card. installed the card and drivers correctly, now however the computer wont start up when i shut down or restart normaly. through much help of others i've figured i need a driver to fix the problem, does any one know what driver i need or a reference to a section i can check out.

What is probably going on is a conflict of hardware drivers rather than needing more drivers. Depending on whether you had another video card installed or you were using onboard video, the first step normally is to go into Windows Control Panel and Software Add/Remove and take out the video drivers for the old video.
If you have onboard video, then you go into BIOS and deactivate the onboard video. If you have a physically detachable card separate from the motherboard, you don't go into the BIOS, you pull the old card out and install the new card.
Given that you installed it correctly, you could use driver cleaner: http://www.drivercleaner.net/ and have it clean out all traces of your video drivers, then reinstall the drivers for your new card from the CD provided.
