i bought an 8600 gt, i pulled out my old grapich card, uninstalled all drivers and related programs, and turned off pc, plugged in the 8600 gt and boot the system.
everything seemed fine so far, until a bios bleep and a reboot.. so i right away think. not enough power since i didnt got a bsod, its an 400 watt power supply, so i plugged out audio pci card, plugged out some fans, plugged out all unneeded usb devices and i boot..
again all seems fine, no reboot, so i install the drivers from cd, and i start up a game ( oblivion in this case ) her where the problem start, my whole screen is layed out in a raster filled with green squares, like a chess board.
i begin thinking, maybe i installed something wrong, or forgot something of my old grapic card, so again i retake the uninstal steps, and reboot, this time windows doesnt boot, no bsod no error, just black screen and nothing.
so i do the worse step, format c: start over from scratch so i finish installing everything, but still my overall performance is messy ( websites not always responding, programs not always responding ) and the green squares are still visable if i run dxdiag direct 3d and draw tests. not in windows.
ive got no memory dumps, no event logs.
