think its the gfx card (overclockers.co.uk wont accept it back as being a moron i threw away the box:O !
 
Nice system, had a few problems along the way, sometimes it just happens, I hope this new card works out for ya as it's a nice system and a shame not to use it to it's full potential.
 
Well installed gfx card today and ran 3d mark 2005, only got 7259 marks? Gotta be something wrong there, as the 7800 gt was posting scores of 7158? Help guys.

On the plus side the display is back to normal and i got a free copy of COD2!
 
Well, i have overclocked the 4400+ cpu from 2.2 - 2.4ghz (at - 38c idle and -34C after intense gaming), and the 3d mark increased from 7200 to 9330! Quite a jump! Am still considering using coolbits/riva tuner as the gfx card is at stock - however last time i did this i think it fried my 7800gt BFG gfx card (even though coolbits applyed and tested optimal settings?)
 
Damn that's a massive jump!
You could overclock your card but do it very gradually, 5MHz increases at a time is good.
Also keep an eye on your temperatures (graphics when overclocking it) your CPU should be fine with that beast of a cooling system you've got!
