lots of problems, help!

Today I got my 9800 Pro. So i go get driver cleaner. I clean out the remenants from my old 9500 Pro, and then the remenants from the Geforce FX 5200nu that i had been using since my 95 died. Then I did a defrag just to make everything nice and orderly. My next step is to install the newest Omega drivers. Everything goes smoothly. Next i screw around, I use RadLinker to clock the core and mem to 390mhz, max driver settings, go into AA and max game settings and see how she holds up.

Next I decide to figure out whether or not ATI tool is telling me i have an R360. so I open that up (my previous post was before i realized that the omega installation was in the omega folder :tard:), to find it impossible to change clocks in ATI tool. I fiddled with it a bit, rebooted with radlinker at stock. Still no dice. Also when i click for system info, nothing come up.

I proced to try powersrip, and i cannot adjust clocks there either.

I figure, ok, its the omegas screwing up, they gave me trouble with the NV card. So i uninstall them, and install ATI drivers. No change. So i uninstall, run driver cleaner, and reinstall ATI drivers. That leaves me where I am sitting right now, with the problem no better under control. And, I notice that somewhere along the line, something happened to make my CPU run at max load constantly. Both MBM and TaskManager are telling me this, and I can feel the lag caused by it.

HELP?!

wow.... never heard of anything like this before..... something is running. you could control, alt, delete and then turn off all unnecessary programs and see if that helps.... if not then you could always reformat the harddrive and reinstall a fresh os...... maybe someone else knows more about such things...... :confused:

fixt.
Thanks for the help HousERaT. Between you, Depthad on AIM, and myself the problem is taken care of. In case anyone else has this problem here is what I did to fix it.
First i started disabling things and found that powerstrip was the powersucker. Then Shawn (depthad) pointed out that it was probly conflicting with radlinker because it was the only prog with access to clocks. After uninstalling radlinker, I reinstalled powerstip and the problem is fixed.
