Usually a restore disk works by wiping your hard drive as the first step, then loading a preconfigured OEM version of Windows, complete with loads of crap demo software.Agreed. I would reinstall drivers first. Reinstalling Windows means reinstalling drivers plus everything else. In the worst case, at least you'll get some practice with it.Check your motherboard manufacturer for software updates and BIOS updates (optional).Check your video card manufacturer for software updates. If you still have trouble, go to Nvidia and download their drivers.Make sure you're on DirectX 9.0c.If you do crack your case and blow out the fans and heatsinks, make sure you put your finger on the fan to keep it from spinning. It's possible to damage the fan by blowing it up to a faster RPM than it is made to handle. (Unlikely, but why risk it?) I also recommend taking the card out to do that.</blockquote>
