Quickly try that, and give me a shout

Yes I did that yesterday after I removed all the old drivers for my last gpu because I had a conflict as soon as I did that the graphics card was working great like I said it was the best Black ops experience I have had no crashes or anything. Then today switched on my comp and black screen Awards

What I am trying now is I have put an old gpu in the comp mainly to check the motherboard and it works so what I am doing now is deleating everything from the graphics card drivers ect ectand then try a new install here's hoping Awards

That leaves a failure of the card, which I'm sure you'll find after you attempt to reinstall it. Good luck. Awards

Driver sweeper; http://www.phyxion.net/Driver-Sweeper/Driver-Sweeper/Driver-Sweeper-275 When installing the driver chose custom and do not install the Nvidia hd audio driver.If it's already installed then disable it in device manager.This will rule out the known hd audio driver irq cionflict.Have look here; http://www.evga.com/forums/tm.aspx?m=586183
