Having issues...

I recently reformated my computer due to some issues I was having with my video card driver - namely, the damn thing kept crashing.

Since I reformated (non-destructive) I have been having issues with what I assume to be my video card, although I imagine it could be a number of things.

Basically, nothing is smooth. Movies seem to play alright, but everything else seems to be jumpy. I am confused - games I play are not near as smooth as they used to be, but even when I drag the mouse across the screen it is no longer smooth - it basically jumps a bit at a time until I get it where I want it.

Is there something wrong with my refresh rate, or video card, or all of the above...? I'm at a loss folks - hopefully you can help me out

I installed the latest drivers, and my computer no longer crashes - but this problem began immediately after reformating the computer.

Any suggestions would be welcome.

**For referance, I believe I have an Nvidia Geforce 5800 with 256 megs of ram. I also have a gig of memory, so I don't think that is an issue. 2.1 Gig processor... Hopefully that helps.

Thanks again everyone
