GTX480 + 8800GTX major problems

[Overclocker~4.1]

Ok guys, I am having some major issues. I got my new rig setup and everything was running fine, untill i tried to play Batman arhkam asylum. it told my it failed to initialize my physics proc. and to update. well, I did. after i uninstalled my old Nvidia drivers and cleaned them out. I installed the newest driver package. and now all hell is breaking loose.

My computer studds and freezes and I even get Bsods. right now while I am typing my words are about 5-6 behind what I have typed. I have tried ininstallin reinstalling starting fresh and everything. the only drivers that give me smoothe performance are the old 195.xx(or something around there) but the problem with that is I dont get physx support with my 8800. It dosnt even recognize it. it has it installed but in device manager, its shut off. when I enable the card. my computer locks. I know the 8800 works great, I pulled it from my old rig, it was doing the same job there with a GTX280.

Please help me get some smootheness out of this thing. these nvidia drivers are pissing me off. all my drivers are updated.

Here's what I'd try:

Boot in safe mode, delete drivers, use driver cleaner, reboot and reinstall 257.21 drivers.

I have done that 3 times. I used Driver sweeper. But after 2 crashes and some swearing. I decided to disable the 8800GTX.... and go figure, the computer is running fine now.. It seems the 8800 does not like the new drivers at all...

If you have a GTX480, pull the 8800 out / dont use it for physx. there isn't much need to offset the physx.. some people have reported lower FPS by using anything under a 260.

I could pop in the GTX 280 I have... But I don't want to migrate the watercooling setup with it. ugg. well thats crappy.

Driver sweeper is not enough to clean out bad driver entries sometimes. I know from my own experience, so trust me on this: Safe mode, uninstall all nvidia drivers. Then driver sweeper. Then CCleaner registry cleaner (make sure you run it multiple times until it returns from a scan with zero bad entries found). then reboot and try installing again.

disable the winders backup thing, safe mode as above and so on. reboot. reenable it.

Screw it. I'm not transplanting the 280, and I'm done with the drivers.. this is the most heck I have gotten from any nvidia based card. owell. I removed the 8800, I'm sure the 480 wont have a problem by its lonesome with my games.

Thanks for the help guys.

It will be fine on Batman. My 470 did very well at 1920x1200.
