Did you use the video driver from MS or Nvidia? One may work better than the other. This might also be a DirectX issue. Run DXDiag and check the version, you might need to update it. Also, in some cases DirectX must be installed prior to the video card driver so you might try removing the display adaptor from Device manager and if the video driver appears in Add or Remove Programs remove it there, too. Reboot, let windows use its driver or select Standard VGA driver, install DirectX, reboot and then update the driver for the display adaptor.


As far as a clean re-install of Windows goes, remove all but bare essencial devices (mouse, keyboard, video card) before the OS installation and then add other cards/devices one at a time.
