Hi all, I apollogize if this is posted in the wrong forum, but I could not find anything related using search function of forum

I am really frustrated with this Nvidia Power system Sentinel 'thing popping up in my windows xp-logon,  Sad
I have tried googling it:
http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview.aspx?catid=31&threadid=2141003 ,
http://www.overclock.net/power-supplies/250803-antec-quattro-850-8800gtx-issue-r...
but nothing works that I have found and tried so far (latest bios for mainboard, and latest driver for display-adapter). I have tried at least 5-10 Nvidia xp32 drivers for it, but to no luck Cry
the real bad thing about it,is that my system performs crap when it pops up! (3d-mark 06 -score after warning 3000,
before warning popped up was 11500)  Shocked
Hope some of the hardware-Gurus can help me Please. Roll Eyes
Thanks in advance

EDIT I also posted this here:http://www.fswaterconfigurator.com/forum/index.php?topic=389.0

Regards Rune

UPDATE:
This problem is now solved!  Smiley

It was most probably the PSU, as it went away when I changed to a different name/brand Powersuppy.
In this case I went from a Chill Innovation 1000w PSU to A Corsair 620w PSU. But I don't think it was the powersupply at fault, but just incompatibillity between hardware especially the :NVIDIA - 8800GTX card

For any one with a similar problem, try reading up on those posted links I posted In this forum and in FSWC's forum , but if you have access to another powersupply, try changing to that first  Wink
Good Luck if you have a similar problem , Because it will make you grow grey hair in an instant.. Tongue Grin
