Basically, lately my system has been acting a bit odd. The monitor sometimes turns off after playing a game for a while and won't turn back on until the system is rebooted. I reformatted but it didn't help. Today I decided to run 3dmark05 and I got 4272 points. This seems a little low considering sites like anandtech, testing this card back in late 2005, were getting 4900 - 5200 points whent he drivers were not mature.
The main test that has a roughly 40 - 45% drop in framerate in 3dmark05 is the second one in the forest, the other ones have a 10 - 15% drop.
I haven't run 3dmark03 yet but will probably later tonight and 3dmark06 doesn't want to install for some reason o.0. Does anyone have an idea of what could be happening and any suggestions of how I could fix this problem?
System:
