Ok, so I installed a nice upgrade to my aging system...a Intel i5 2500k, MSi P67A, and 8GB of memory.
I formatted and reinstalled Windows 7 64bit, once installed I get to the desktop and it just starts struggling, freezing and whatnot. I manage to get all the drivers installed but still just barely creeping along. I disable the desktop windows manager and that seemed to help a bit but when I drag windows around it looks like there is no video driver installed, you know the trailing image thing. Also when I open Firefox or IE it hangs.
So my question is, I have an evga 6800gt (old right), could all these be signs that the card is on the way out?
Sorry for such a long first post lol
