I am brand new to Windows and XP(use mostly linux) and I am trying to play some demos/games in XP and EVERY time that I try to start something up, XP freezes. And I don't mean a nice freeze, I mean that I can't do anything but power down and reboot. CTL-ALT-DEL does not even work, no response at all! Any ideas? Also, is there a free video card benchmarking tool that I can use to compare the performance of my video card(I use glxgears in linux) and make sure that it is up to par? Thanks,

Shane
 
I am using the once that came with the video card from the installation CD. I can be more specific after I get home tonight, but would it be worth upgrading to the latest and greatest from nvidia.com?
 
I upgraded last night to the latest drivers from nvidia, and now it's even worse. The computer freezed for about 5 seconds, and then it REBOOTS. I have a copy of Windows 2000 Professional, should I just try that and give up on Windows XP Pro?
