Hi Everybody
Today I have installed EVGA GTX 470 SC 1280MB DDR5 graphics card in my PC and from here all my problems begin. My PC's configuration is : Windows XP SP2 OS, Intel DG33FBC motherboard, Intel core 2 duo E8400 @ 3 GHz processor, 4 GB DDR2 RAM, Seagate 500 GB SATA HDD, LG Flatron 19" LCD monitor, Cooler Master GX 650W PSU with 52Amps available on +12V rail, CPU dust-free / air-cooled.
I had been using onboard Realtek HD audio drivers and Intel's HD media accelerator drivers for media and gaming. I have installed Nvidia GeForce GTX 470 driver version 6.14.12.6658 dt. 7 Jan'11. Nvidia's HD sound drivers got installed automatically with video drivers. Now I have uninstalled Intel's HD media accelerator drivers. Before installing GTX 470 card in my CPU everything was running very fine and smoothly but now while I am typing this thread my mouse pointer and keystrokes are getting frozen for 2-5 seconds, firefox.exe CPU usage is 54%, even if I right click on any folder or file then explorer.exe usage shoots upto 60%, my PC has started behaving like it is from pre-historical era. Avira anti-virus and PC Tool Spyware scan says that PC is infection free. Earlier when I used to play Max Payne 2 using onboard memory it was a very pleasant gaming experience but now when playing with GTX 470 Max Payne 2 is getting frozen. I also tried playing FEAR, Far Cry, Doom 3 but every game got stuck after start. Screen goes black and to continue I forcibly press PC reboot with fingers crossed to see it booting again without HDD failure. I have tried "clean installation" of video drivers also but all in vain.
I need your valuable time and help to get worth of my $280 invested in GTX 470.
Thank you in advance for your support for which I've joined this forum.
