Geforce 5500 fx trouble

I've had this PC for about 2 years. It's a 3Ghz single core, Pentium 4 affair, but I'm afraid I don't know much more than that. Soon after I got it I replaced the graphics card with a GeForce - a 5500 FX methinks.

A little while ago it started acting poorly, so I reformatted it and reinstalled windows. Now, however, my PC acts as though the graphics card is the low-spec ATI one that it came with (and I no longer have), and refuses to recognise that the thing it's displaying on is the GeForce.

Does anybody know what is going on with it, and could perhaps give me a hand to get the old girl working again?

Thanks very much in advance!
 
If you can give us some real specifics, like what exactly do you mean by "poor" performance.

Are you tracking FPS in a particular game and they are lower then before etc.?

The goal i think here to save you time is going to be to try to determine if its the card at all or something else (dying mb)

EDIT: PC I stop posting useless sh*t to get your post count up its annyoing...either help or go away.

The FX5500 is faster than a 9800 for sure

Back on topic:
Is your card heating also if you used recovery discs it's the issue.

1. Try disabling indergrated graphics on your MB
2. Try uninstall ATI and install nvidia drivers.
 
Basically I didn't have anti-virus software so it got over-run with ebil things that slowed the PC and caused it to crash at inoppitune times.

It's not that anything's working better or worse than before, neccessarilly, but my PC simply refuses to acknowledge that I have the 5500 plugged in despite using it as my graphics out at present


Oh, and I tried uninstalling ATI and installing the geforce drivers, but the nvidia drivers won't have any of it
