    What is the make and model number of your video card?

    After the format - did you install the chiipset drivers etc for the mobo?

    Go into Device Manager - expand Display Adaptors and check that the adaptor shown is the one you posted - sis mirage 3

    If that is correct right click on it > Properties > Driver tab and check that the driver version shown is the one you loaded from the URL I posted.

    And - as Steve posted ....
    ???

    Also - after you formatted did you install Java and Adobe Flash?
