Since I've installed a new graphic card (+drivers) and power supply, my pc is showing some problems.

*When I start up my pc, there is often no connection with my screen.
The starting up is also slower then before my new graphic cartd.
-My screen has got his own little computer and is connected to a digital magnifying glass.
My computer is on HDMI 1 and the magnifying glass on HDMI 2.

*
When I watch a tv-show or movie on youtube or gorillavid, the playing screen falters, unless I keep on moving my mouse.
If have this problem with Firefox, not with Internet Explorer.
Firfox is up to date.

I often play a MMORPG (age of conan) without any problem.
Temperature of my graphic card stays below 70°C.

this is my pc:

Brand: Acer
model: Predator G3600
classification: 5,9
processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600 CPU @ 3,40GHz 3,40 GHz
RAM: 8,00 GB
system: 64-bit operating system
Windows 7 Home Premium
power supply: Corsair TX 750M (new)
graphic card: Radeon 7950 (new, with up to date driver)


I hope this is a bit clear:)

Nice explanation. :)

The first thing I would do is ensure that you have a CLEAN install of everything related to the GPU / VGA drivers.

Do ALL of the following in ORDER:

  1. Download and install DriverSweeper (but don't run yet) from here.
  2. Download (but don't install yet) latest ATi driver from here.
  3. Uninstall via Window's Add and Remove Programs current ATi drivers. Uninstall everything.
  4. Restart.
  5. Run DriverSweeper and select all NVidia and ATi options.
  6. Restart.
  7. Install the latest ATi driver you downloaded earlier.
  8. Restart.
  9. Go to intel Download Drivers here and install everything the scan detects as out-dated.
  10. Restart.
  11. Update directX
  12. Restart
  13. Update Windows.
  14. Restart

Post if that helps.

^I'm going to bet that these steps will solve your problem. If your boot time is noticeably longer than it was previously, it's quite possible that you're having some trouble with your driver configuration.
 
Thanks for the help:)
Driver sweeper doesn't work.
I select AMD and NVIDIA drivers, it finds them, then it asks me if I want to reboot and it stops removing the files...
 
Try running driver sweeper in safe mode. There are issue with running it in regular mode.
 
Ok, I did everything you told me to do.

-There is one NVIDIA-driver I can't get rid of.
It's called: "NVIDIA Drivers"
When I try to delete it, nothing happens.
-There are a lot of files from NVIDIA - Display which I can't remove with driver Sweeper.
-I've downloaded one Intel driver, but the other one has been renamed so I have to find it manually.
It's an update for Intel RAID Controller(11.6.0.1030)...is that importan ?
-DirectX is up to date and my computer did not find any updates for windows.

The problems with youtube and gorillavid are only on Firefox, not on Internet Explorer.
Can it help to reinstall firefox?

It may help. As long as you know there aren't any nvidia chipset drivers, which looks like you have an intel chipset, then you look in add/remove programs to see if there are any nvidia driver install progams listed and remove them.
 
You can download revo uninstaller pro that can remove that entry.

Thanks, The program is gone:)
Tomorrow I'll reinstall the AMD driver again (and use driver sweeper).

The fact that the video on youtube freezes if I don't move my mouse, is a well known problem...some people have solved it by downgrading the flashplayer.
I think I'll just use internet explorer instead of Firefox.

Thanks for all the help!
