I had to pull a video card out, the Evga 8800 gts/320 PCI X. I had freeze up and all kinds of problems. I was running the latest driver. Below are the spec for the PC. I put a EVGA 8400/ 512 PCIX card in and have had no problems. Has there been problems with the 8800 GTS?

I use a 8800 gts 320. What drivers did you use. Go too the NVIDIA site, search the Beta and older drivers area and download a couple off other older drivers, say 4 versions ago and try them. Its not always the latest driver is the best for an individual computer, sometimes updating the driver can make your card worse. I run Vista 64 bit and the older 169.25 DRIVER is better performance wise on my PC.

Good luck Trev

I tried the drivers that came with the card, I downloaded the new drivers, I continue to have instability and freeze up at the snap of a finger. I swapped the card with a 8400 GT and was playing games, doing virus scans, on the Internet at the same time and with no stability problems. I believe that this card needs a continuous supply of electricity from the power grid. The 8400gt was a used card I had laying around in another PC. I ordered a EVGA 8600 G/512 PCIEX and I think that will supply what I need. I believe that I would have to increase the size of the power supply and change motherboards to let that card work right.
