I recently bought a PNY Nvidia 9800 GTX+ GPU from Best Buy. When I first installed it, I was running XP SP3. I noticed that the card was climbing in temperature (was playing Cod 4) it hit 78c. I shut it down and let it cool, then restarted with no issues. At some point later when I would boot into windows I started getting some crashes. I decided to just install Windows 7 and run with that. So I load that and Windows 7 automatically gets a driver (190.38) and when it reboots I have no video (VGA via an adapter to a Hanns-G 21" LCD). If I boot to safe mode I have video no problem, but when I boot into Windows normally I get the "Starting Windows' screen and then nothing but a solid color like yellow or purple.
I'm using an XFX 680i LT mobo, PNY 9800GTX+, Ultra LPS 750 psu, 4GB Fatality 2GB Corsair RAM. I can give any other specs you'd like, just ask. I greatly appreciate any help that anyone can give, I'm hoping it's just the driver and not a failed card!
Thanks,
