the motherboard, cpu, cpu cooler and ram are new.. the other parts were all used in my previous system (q6600@ 3.0 ghz, with a tuniq tower 120, 4 gb of ddr2 800 corsair xms2)
formatted the machine, starting from scratch because of the new parts
getting into windows was easy, no issues, but as soon as i installed drivers for the video card, i started having issues... i would get microfreezes in windows and the nvlddmkm driver has stopped responding would happen,, ive tried the latest stable drivers (320.49) as well as both beta drivers 326.19 and 326.41, as well as older stable drivers 314.22 nothing would work
tried a fresh format, thinking maybe the initial windows install had somehow screwed up, but nothing fixed it..
restarted the machine and ran memtest while i slept (both sticks in, need to do it again with 1 stick each), 4 passes later, no errors were found. booted into windows, and immediately started to have issues again.
ive noticed that if i watch the windows task manager performance bar, the stuttering happens at the same time that the cpu usage hits 100% (it spike there for a second or two, then goes back to 2-3% and the system works again)..
Went over to my brothers house, took my video card out and put his in my system (exact same video card, we ordered 2 of them ) and the probelsm happened immediately. about to switch out the power supplies (test my system with his, and his with mine), and will reply with updates...
im nearly lost on what to try next simply because everything else worked before i put it in this system, and memtest passed the ram.
temps are fine. 30C or so on idle, hit 59C after 15 minutes of prime 95 (need to run this longer as well)
any advice anyone can give me on where to go next, or where to go for more help would be awesome.
