The problem is in the latest NVIDIA display drivers version 77.72 or 77.77. I
had the same problem with my FX 5200. The solution is to revert back to the
oldest known stable drivers, which I found are 71.89. Read the other
newsgroups and you'll see this is a major problem.

You can find them at ftp://download.nvidia.com/Windows

I can guarantee you this will solve your problem. It worked for me!
