Hmm... Here are some questions that came into my head upon reading your problem:

Prehaps the 9600 doesnt work on your system? Are you sure you've installed it right? Prehaps you need to reinstall the drivers some way? Did you touch/change any hardware specs accidentally? Did you plug something in wrong? Are you sure you installed the card right?

Prehaps one of these questions can be answered with a 'no'.

ya, I'd uninstall your old drivers, then just have a standard VGA driver. Then try the card.

Can you even see the bios screen or anything prior to bootup, or is it black screen all the time?

Well this may sound simple (no pun intended) I purchased a vid card one time and I could not get it to work. Did just about everything I could think of, reinstalled at least 3 times updated eveything I could called support did everything they suggested and nothing. Ended up taking the card to the local comp store had it tested and it was a bad card , exchanged and bam first time I installed it worked

Go into your bios and make sure fast writes are turned off. I know sometimes that can cause issues.

Have you updated your chipset drivers. Your motherboard is not based off the nvidia chipset according to the website you provided, its based off the sis chipset.

Edit: I am assuming you have onboard video off?

There are a few bios updates you could do. Otherwise im not sure. Sounds like a driver problem getting into windows.

Can you get into safe mode with the card or does it crash then also?
