I have heard of problems with the new releases ( the 5xxx series ) of
the nVidia drivers.  You should try the 1.0-4496 drivers and see if that

and tho' We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are,--
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
