Yesterday I installed XP Home SP2 on a new hard drive and went on to install the drivers for all of my components. However when I attempted to install the Forceware driver for my GeForce 6800 GS the partway through the installation the screen started to flicker on and off. It did this for about 10 seconds going blank for a few seconds at a time. After the period of flickering It said that I needed to restart the computer... So I hit ok restart now, but a few seconds after I hit it the computer froze completely. After it froze I had to do a hard restart. I turned it back on and now the comp is making a clicking sound and it pauses for 10-15 seconds every time I try to open start, right click on anything, etc. I tried to reinstall the driver a second time and got the same result. Could this be from the forceware driver I tried to install? Or is it something else. THX for any help.
