I had a problem the other day... I had to basically remove everything from my mainboard and clean it, then put it back in. I got some problems with Bluescreening after that, so I reinstalled my drivers. Problem is, I'm getting horrible 3d mark scores, and games run like crap. System is a semi-overclocked 2500+ on an Epox 8RDA3+ and a BFG 5900 NU. I'm trying the new NForce2 drivers, that's about all that's changed. Any ideas on what I should do? I got 12,980 in 3d mark 2000, 9,750 in 2001 SE, and 5,290 in 2003. I'm getting decent framerates in CoD, but it's jerky. I have NVhardpage and coolbits active. Using the newest drivers for the chipset and the 53.03 drivers for the vid card.
 
First thing I'd do would be drop back to stock clocks on everything, make sure it is 100% before resuming overclocking.

Messed with your memory timings at all?

I found that the RAM was being unstable on the card. It really messes thigns up if I OC it too much. I have the core at stock, and I had the CPU/RAM at stock.

RAM timings aren't too tight. 2.5-4-4-9 at the RAM's rated speed of 200 mhz (400 mhz DDR). I have a chipset issue which causes that, it's not actually the RAM itself. ;)

Might be related, but I forgot to take the little plastic thing off the card at first. It never overheated, but it still ran kinda weird for a while. We tore my system apart the other day and re-applied AS3, then put it all back together. Noticed that the entire card is somewhat bent because of the hard drive... This card is so long, it actually is touching my 120 gig IDE drive (has a SATA -> IDE adapter on it).
 
Based on the title I thought this was a Pirates of the Caribbean thread. It would seem that you have posted in the wrong forum.
