Hi all Hope someone can help me with this problem!

I installed my new 6600gt PCI-E uninstalled all my old Display drivers. I tried to install the new Display drivers but the PC always freezes before the full installation. So I tried a full format and got the same result! I´v tried older drivers beta drivers too but it´s always the same. Just before the full install of the driver the PC freezes.What can I try next???

??? Looks like you're in the wrong site... This is a Linux site! :) I'd advise you to check your graphic card manufacturer's site... Good luck!
