there are so many different answers to this question, but you have to be more specific, is the problem in games, or desktop, and what exactly is the problem?

Hell! What about asking if it is CRT or LCD!

everything... moving minimized windows, scrolling in IE, ect...
And for the other question, LCD.

Always been there? Recent change? Anything you do you think may have triggered it?

This is a new graphics card.

By the way, I just went under hardware profiles after re-starting the computer, and it seems like the driver is not installed properly. ("!" mark next to it). Tried reinstalling again, and no luck... so this looks like it is a driver issue...

EDIT: Tried NVidia Forceware. No luck.

Your first post makes it sound like this was always going on, was it ever since you had the system? (Parts+Monitor) Or something you thought crapped out on the old card that you thought would be fixed by a new one?

(Trying to get some bearings here, I know I'm not actually helping...yet)

This is my parents system, so I wasn’t there when it happened, but a surge went through the house. Afterwards the computer would not boot at all. I discovered that the hard drive had been fried, so I re-installed windows. Afterwards, the old GPU (AN ATI) had drivers that would not stick. Now, knowing that ATI just has bad drivers, and the GPU was old to start with, I just went out and bought an new NVIDIA GPU (An GeForce 6800 XT)... now, same thing is happening here. The drivers just do not stay... When installing the drivers, everything goes smooth, and after installation, everything works, and the NVIDIA app is working in the system try... thing is, after I restart the computer, the app is no longer loaded in the system tray, and after looking under the hardware profiles, I see that the driver is corrupted...

PS: Dont worry about the questions. Any help is better than no help.

My only thought unfortunately is that some motherboard component could have gotten messed up, I mean, a persistent problem throughout two different cards doesn't bode well...

My only thought would be to use some 3rd party driver manager program to remove and reinstall the drivers (but I've never had a problem with drivers so I can't specifically recommend one, maybe someone else can)

...Are you completely sure every component of the ATi driver was removed?

As a last resort, I'd contact nVidia support...there's a chance your problem isn't an isolated incident...
