I recently purchased a new graphics card, PNY Verto GeForce 6200, and a 1GB stick of ram for my computer however I've encountered a problem. When the computer starts up and windows has fully loaded it freezes and then the screen goes blank. I switch it off and switch it on and then it seems to work fine. Only seems to happen when you turn it on for the first time.
Could this be something to do with drivers or is this a weird way of the card warming up? The card was meant to be an upgrade from my XFX 5200 128mb card
