Video Card Problems

I recently purchased an MSI Ti4200VTD8x with 128MB of DDR RAM and installed it in my new Shuttle SB51G. The problem I'm having is that sometimes, it will boot up and the monitor gets no video signal. Then, when it does have signal, it doesn't display the video card information like every other video card I've ever seen. Sometimes, Windows crashes and when it starts up again, it has one of those prompts to send an error report, and it says that there is instability caused by the video drivers. I was wondering if there is anything I can do about this, or if the card is defective and needs replacing. Any help I can get would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Have you updated the card with the latest nVidia drivers?

Swap it out with a known good card. If it's not working right on boot up then it isn't a driver issue(at least not exclusively).

I just downloaded the newest drivers, and it hasn't crashed yet, but it hasn't been very long either. Before, I had version 41.09, and that worked out just fine on my other computer with another video card. I did try swapping my other video card in, and that worked just fine, and I even put the new one in my old computer, and it still did not show the video card information.
