    Yes,i think im getting artifacts,blocks of color keep popping up,
    how do i get the clock speeds back to back to normal?

    Try turning your core clock down to 250.

    Actually, try unselecting the "enable driver level hardware oc". Perhaps that'll take you back to stock settings.

    Yes remove all that crap from your system. nTune is the pime system crasher extraordinaire. LOL Just use coolbits to unlock the O/C capabilities built into Nvidia utility.

    hey guys

    im still having the same problem,everytime i scroll down on a webpage the screen just breaks up & the computer locks up,then restarts itself. i've reset my gpu clock speeds using the nvidia thingy,but had no joy :confused: i thought maybe i,ve changed my cpu clock speeds while i was messing with it.if so how would i reset that?
    its also restarting itself in games now,& windows locks up if unused for a minute or two,& wont work till i 3 key it!!!

    any suggestion would be much apreceated,as the problem seems to be getting worse.

    thanks again.

    Sounds like resetting CMOS might do you some good.

    Read your motherboard manual to find where the jumpers are for resetting. If your motherboard doesn't have jumpers, then you need to disconnect all power (unplug from wall and remove PSU connections to the motherboard) then remove the CMOS battery for a half hour then pop it back in.

    Good luck!

    ok..i took the battery out for half an hour last night & it worked perfect all night.
    i,ve just turned it on for the first time today & it's back again but worse than ever!!! :haha: do i just need a new battery?

    thanks again!!! :haha:

    It may be a that your new card is DOA, it happens a lot.

    But i STILL say your PSU is a prime suspect. (see post 7 of this thread)

    well..i put the 6600gt back i the other day & it's been fine so far :approve:

    if it happens again i'll try a new psu.

    so thanks again for all help DonNagual :grinthumb
