Alright i have a athlon 64 3000+, 420w thermaltake ps, Nvidia 6800 LE (256mb version), and 512 ram...i havent overclocked the video card or anything, and havent had any problems since novemberish when i got this card from new egg. When i first got it my comp would randomly restart and come back with screwed up colors, downloading the 66.81 drivers fixed that, but just today i had just turned on comp and started looking around the internet. After awhile my monitor would shut off, then turn back on, a nd a few seconds repeat, until it finally turned off and i would move my mouse and it wouldnt do anything. So i forced shutdown, then restarted it. It would get past the Windows XP loading screen then stay black and not do anything, had to force restart again 2 more times until it worked...

Main question is, should i get some new nvidia drivers that may help this? Do note only 2 days ago i had thouroughlly (sp) cleaned off dust in my comp and case.

Thanks :)
