GTX260 freezing system on boot
I've just upgraded my mobo/CPU/ram, and performed a clean install, but my GTX260 is causing me problems. It freezes the system either just before Windows login on the 'Windows Starting' screen, or a few seconds after I reach the desktop. The only way I can boot in to Windows is booting in safe mode, uninstalling the NVIDIA drivers and using the Windows Standard VGA driver, or by removing the GTX260 and using the on board graphics.
The card worked fine on my old system with the same PSU (Corsair HX520), so I don't think power is a problem. I've also tried my flatmates graphics card (same model) and it's the same problem so I don't think there is a problem with the card. Just a driver/compatibility issue.
New components:
Mobo: ASUS P8H67-M (B3 revision)
CPU: Intel Core i5-2500K 3.30GHz (Sandybridge)
RAM: OCZ 4gb DDR3
Software:
Windows 7 x64 SP1
All drivers/mobo/bios up to date.
No hardware conflicts or issues apparent under Device Manager.
Any ideas/help much appreciated.
