I put on my new northbridge cooler but i had to take all my cards and stuff out.

I bought a XFX 7900gs and installed it. I loaded all the drivers, nothing wrong.

so i put my soundcard(sabrent, the 8 dollar one on newegg) back in and it wasnt working so i reinstalled the drivers. didnt work.
i switched to onboard sound and it worked as well onboard sound is.

then i ran medievil 2 and it ran so slow it was unusable. i had a cheapo nvidia card (84 bucks) and it was faster for running medievil
the weird thing is that i can run quake much faster.

so i checked and installed all the drivers i had in the xfx cd, then when i installed the overclocking thing i restarted my computer, and now i cant overclock at all!


what the hell!
 
So how's it run without overclocking?

And can't overclock cuz it does something, or cuz the coolbits reg got overwritten and that section of the control panel doesn't show up anymore?
 
Make sure that since you can't run the card in slot 1 that you have your jumpers setup to give you 8x on slot 2 rather than 2x that you would normally get when slot 1 is at 16x. I had to run my card in slot two for the longest time and I noticed a huge lack of performance until i realized i had to move the jumpers to get more bandwidth for the card.
 
Explain what you mean by you cant overclock at all? overclock what?
 
maybe hsf wouldnt spin properly, its the artic freezer 7, it makes like 5 revolutions then stops and does that for a minute then my computer restarts and clears cmos. but if i leave it with oc disabled, the fan works fine. one of the major problems though is the video card, is it odd that medievil runs slower than before but quake runs faster?

Do you have a 3pin - 4 pin extension that you can try to hook the Heatsink to another 4 pin instead of the motherboard 3pin plug?
