this would be the classic scenario of nvidia driver files being
left
behind and the ATI card is suffering from it

i have recently changed my graphics card ti4200 to a 9600 and
since
then i
have had lots of problems my coputer. it takes ages to load (the
windows
loadsing screen bar goes by 30 times) some games take ages to
load
up but
then seem to play alright.meadia player 10 jutters a bit. at
first
i
thought that it was just the nvidia to ati switch and splated my
pc
to start
again and that seemed to help but my pc seems to have got worst
and
worst
again some times it seems to be fine then it wont be next log on.
i
have
tested the memory and run scan disk on both hds i dont think it
is
over
heating as i have monitored the temps with speed fan. i think
that
the
motherboard may be the problem but have know way of telling as it
could be
the g card (puting the old card in does not seem to help)
