Does the mobo you are using have intergrated video onboard? If it does, disable it.

That's perfectly normal, because your videocard uses those resources.

it cant be normal because it is conflicting

You didn't list your motherboard make, but I gathered it uses a SiS chipset. Download the latest drivers for your board somewhere in here. (Make sure you get both the IDE and AGP drivers.)
Next, go here for the latest drivers for your nVidia GeForce 4.
If you still have a problem, post back.

thanks i found out the problem, with my system being as powerful as it is, and upgrading everything but the power supply itself, i was running at 250W.... but with what i have, especially my video card i needed a 400W power supply, thanks for the help guys

It's not conflicting, it is sharing. There is a difference. And seeing as a new PS solved the problem, you'll notice that those shared resources are STILL listed.
