erm name steal.. :touch:

what drivers are you running and did you completely remove your old drivers (3rd party tool) before reinstalling?

Could also be heat?

hey rich, hows it going? hope you doing ok

my Advice:

1. right click on my computer, goto hardware -> Device Manager

2. Click on Display adapaters, right click your graphics card and click uninstall.

3. Reboot ya pc.

4. Install and run Driver Cleaner Pro. It basically cleans out old files that don't always get removed properly by the uninstall process you did 2 mins ago. Theres a few programs that do this, but someone showed me this a few weeks back and i've used it, and its fine.

5. Reboot (again). Yeh I know pain rebooting man. Go make a cuppa or summit

6. Goto http://www.nvidia.com and download the latest drivers for your card. Install and then... wait for it...

7. reboot again.

That will completly clean your old drivers and crap, and install the new card a fresh. See if that solves your problem.
