I recently got a new graphics card, i got the GeForce GTX 550Ti 2gb and im having some issues. Ever since i installed (i don't even know if i installed it correctly i just winged it, but i mean its working right now i see everything fine) every so often my computer will freeze or the image will stutter and freeze, the fans seem to be blowing really loud also. I think i have successfully deleted the old drivers from my computer since they're not showing up on the "Uninstall a Program" in Control Panel and i have downloaded the newest drivers for the new graphics card.

Computer specs:
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit (if this matters)
Processor: AMD Anthlon(tm) II X2 260 Processor ~3.2GHz
Memory: 8192MB RAM

Any help is appreciated! 

Thanks! Let me know if you need additional info and where i can locate it for you.

Box says minimum watt supply needed is 400w and i have a 500w power supply!

I did the update drivers step as indicated and it says i have the latest drivers already installed.

I just tested with speed fan and here are the results after playing a game:

56C ~ GPU
51C ~ Temp1
50C~ CPU

And yes this only happens when im playing a game.

Sometimes comp drops to like 04FPS and i have to restart to get it working again

im having a problem where i tab out from my game and when i tab back the card is using 99% processing power and making them game lag
 

I highly suggest that you -uninstall- SpeedFan
 
*SpeedFan is KNOWN to have serious issues when using Windows 7, a modern 500 series Nvidia card and using such older MB/BIOS/CPU
 
Use the latest version or Precison or Afterburner

Uninstall it
Use the latest version of EVGA Precision or MSI Afterburner to monitor your videocard
 
If the fans are "Blowing really loud" as you said, then you might be having temp issues due to airflow
 
What computer case are you using?

Is this it?

EDITED until we see how you respond to the RAM question

Achroth

Motherboard only has 2 ram slots so i purchased (2) 4gb ram sticks.

As for the models and stuff ill check and see if its really necessary sinc eim using the comp right now but will find out if needed.

 
Where did you get the sticks you added?
 
I could not find any information on the installed RAM (that came with your system), so how did you buy sticks that are matches for what you had?
 
I belive that this is what is causing your problem
 

Shut down the computer, then turn OFF the switch on the powersupply.
 
Remove the 4gig stick you added in....  your computer should now work fine.
 
Your system uses Dual Channel memory sticks, they come in "pairs" of (2) sticks each.
By adding in just one stick of non matching RAM you "broke" the Dual channel mode your system uses.
 
Your computer uses a very old MB chipset called a NF630
This chipset can only run certain RAM sticks (speed, voltage), and they -must- be installed in matching pairs.
 
I highly suggest you call CyberPower tech support and find out the -EXACT- RAM (with Speed, timings and voltage) needed for your system. Then either buy a "matching" pair for the sticks you have, or throw away what you have and replace it with "new" sticks (always in matching pairs) that go with your motherboard (speed, voltage) that you got the information on from CyberPower.  
 
For now, just remove that stick you added and see if the problems go away or not

I also ran the Driver Fusion program you told me to run and this is what pops up.
 

Yes that is correct i only have (2) sticks no more slots for more.
 
Thats all the info on the stickers on the RAM sticks.
 
So out of the 2 which one you recommend i take out?

Yes thats fine ! I really appreciate your help, i will look forward to a reply from you on here.
 
Do you accept donations through paypal for your help? Or anything i can do for your help?
 
I ran the Analyze on the Driver Fusion for AMD and i got a bunch on different files
 
Type: Display Location: C:\Windows\system32 for a lot of files
Also different display files with different sources:
Source: Directory
Source: Registry Key
Source: Service

Yeah, as expected.... we will have some work to do tomorrow bro. Just hang tight till then
 
If you have some free time, read over my Nvidia driver guide http://forums.evga.com/fb.ashx?m=1174372
Dont do -anything- just yet, but just reading up will help you understand what we will be doing tomorrow
 
*If you live in the U.S. I may just give you my phone number and walk you thru the process

OK, California.. thats great, same time zone.
 
I am going to PM you my number, check your PMs
