Update to the newest drivers for your OS.

i ahve the newest drivers for my os and for card for everything :/

Hi m8 i had the same probs aswell i upgraded all the drivers like i was to do so and everything went like yours did i removed the drivers and removed the card rebooted the comp then i installed the drivers then shut down the comp reinstalled the gfx card and then powered up and i have had no probs since then basically use the drivers that come with the card i do and im trouble free hope i helped you out here

i wouldn't recommend using the drivers that ship with the card, i haven't used the shipped drivers since my rage128.

 

newer drivers fix game issues and instability issues, and while the newest version won't always agree with your hardware setup, it's by far better using something recnet than the shipped drivers.

 

now do you have your card overclocked? if so run it at default. otherwise like said make sure you have the latest mobo drivers for your chipset, and try completely uninstalling your old dets using det destroyer and then reinstall the newest dets and see if that helps.
