6600GT, video and 3D nogo?

[mort]

Just build my system since the cpu arrived today \o/.
Installed windows, nforce drivers and forceware for the videocard.
Now whenever I want to touch a 3D game it just doesn't show up. For instance loading a 3dmark, it shows the progressbar and it pauzes for a few secs in between en then some weird graphics. In Q3A it shows the menu and just freezes for a few seconds and continues again (just the menu). When I'm playing a movie it shows up ok, but when I want to go from fullscreen to windowed it'll mess up the desktop and it takes too long.

I hope it's just a driver issue, or bios setting which I'm unaware of.
Plz I need your help :/ my ati with xp worked fine grrr.

Does this occur only with 3d apps ?

Check your Event Viewer. To open Event Viewer, click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel. Double-click Administrative Tools, and then double-click Event Viewer. You should see some errors being reported. You might be able to identify which driver is causing your problem.

Also, are you using the nForce IDE driver? That has been known to cause random crashes and other issues. Remove the nForce IDE driver and let XP load its own generic driver. Cured a lot of odd problems for me.
