Default Weird Nvidia Problem...

Soo... I just kinda finished installing the new system and the GPU does something I never had before.
Its a 7900GTO (like a GTX but the mem is clocked down a bit) and is runs on the newest Forceware drivers.

Whenever I click the Control Panel thingy (in the tray for adjusting AA and stuff) the screen (a 37" lcd vga@1360x768) goes dark for a second and comes back on...

So far I've used a ATI card with it, and that did the job just fine...

Any ideas?

//edit: It also does it, when I right click on video files...

Since this maybe part of the problem, no edit on the post: The video looks like shit.
Overlay, vmr, nothing looks good, overlay looks too scaled when in fullscreen and even hrhd stuff is bad... vmr7 is too dark vmr9 is too bright.

All of them stutter a bit, even though they only use like 10% CPU... Tried 2 ffshow builds, all in mpc

This sucks...

Try using Driver Cleaner Pro to wipe out the drivers and then reinstall.

could it be MB Compatibility problems?... on my desktop, I'm running Asus A8N-SLi MB with a ATi X-800 and it had problems similiar to yours, not so serious but along the lines of that... switched over with my other desktops GeForce 7600 and it works perfectly now.... what is the model number for your motherboard?

Its a Asus P5B (non deluxe -> cheapass images/smilies/wink.gif )

Oh, and just for further clarification: I never ran the Ati on this particular board. Completly new system, new MoBo, GPU, HDD...

Don't worry about it. My 6800 GT does the exact same thing to my primary monitor when I right-click the tray icon. It's just the drivers and nothing breaks, so... images/smilies/smile.gif

On my old nVidia card, I got this issue a few times. It was always down to drivers (occurred after I'd updated the drivers). I suggest you try a different set of drivers if you can, and make sure the old ones are completely removed (uninstall in safe mode, then reinstall in safe mode).
Alternatively, try the drivers from Guru3d - these are an alternative to nVidia's own drivers and may help.

try the PureVideo HD Beta drivers, they add purevideo support for HD content, that might clear up the picture

I suppose you have tried to fiddle with your overlay settings to clear up the picture? cos my GF7600GT had very weird standard settings
