Just bought a new XFX GTX260 XXX version and after installing it and the drivers am having an annoying issue. When windows (vista x64) starts up most of the time the graphics card is not detected, vista seems to be running off a "standard vga device" or similar, and the nvidia control panel option disappears from the desktop right-click menu, as if the card is not there. After a few restars it eventually gets it right and the card runs perfectly fine. As far as I am aware my computer (although not great) is capable of running this card. So, is someone able to tell what is the most likely cause of this? Does it seem as if the card is at fault or my system? Here are my specs
Windows Vista Business 64bit SP1 (also same behaviour on xp 32bit SP3 partition)
Hiper 580W Type-M power supply (one 18W 12v and one 20W 12v rail)
Foxconn C51XEM2AA Nvidia nForce 570SLI
Athlon X2 4800 (2.5ghz)
4*1GB Geil ddr2 800 4-4-4-12 @2.1v
1 TB samsung drive
Nvidia drivers: 178.24
Any advice would be really appreciated (before I go and buy a new psu and motherboard...which I'd rather not have to do)
