    After buying and installing my graphics card ( XFX GeForce 7300 GT 256MB DDRII AGP) I am experiencing problems with my computer. If I want to watch any type of video the CPU runs at 100% and never actually runs the video. The screen flickers a few times (all black). I then have to Close all programs which takes 20 minutes because f the 100% usage. I bought this Graphic card to be able to play Gost Recon Advanced Warfighter. and it did at first work OK. However, it tends to crash completely after 10 min of playing. ending with a BLUE SCREEN (saying something about dumping of physical memory). And when I turn the PC on again The msg " windows has recovered from a serious error" comes up. I tried to re-install everything but with no change. I went on your website to download the latest driver but during installation it stopped telling me " Cant find a driver which is compatible with my hardware". The driver from the CD worked fine when I installed it however.

    MY PC Specs are;: AMD Athlon XP 2800+, MMX, 2,1GH
    1 GB RAM
    Windows XP professional 5,1

    Anyone got any ideas please...???
