Well the video problems returned even after trying the new drivers. As an experiment I re-installed my old GeForce FX 5700. Using the 66.93 Nvidia released drivers I put it to the test. There were absolutley no artifact problems in any of my games or running the FutureMark 3D Mark benchmark. I re-in...

I have just downloaded the driver and will try later tonight. I will let you know how it goes. I have just tried to play CS Source but the updates are huge and the server must be busy because it is telling me it will finish in 465 minutes - I don't think so. Will have to try later when their servers...

So your saying that if I turn on v-sync the problem should go away but I will have lower frame rates?

Would this be something to try to see if indeed this is the issue?

Okay I have just re-built and re-installed my new system using Win XP Pro SP2. All seems to be okay except for the fact that I seem to have video graphics problems. Initially I noticed this when playing BF1942. during game play I get image break-up on the screen. This is lines that appear for a seco...

Well I just purchased the Executive Software Diskeeper PRo 9.0 version. I have run both the standard defrag and the boot-time defrag. Seems to have helped quite a bit. My boot time has improved by at least 30% to 40%. I guess when we build new PC's we are never satisfied with its performance and are...

I have just built a new pc, specs below, and installed Win XP Pro SP2. I have noticed that the windows boot time is much longer than my previous PC which had a slower CPU and RAM.

Okay I have just built my first AMD 64 bit machine. I have downloaded the Microsoft XP Pro x64 trial version of windows but am not sure whether or not to use this.
