Yes it will be very helpful if you post the specs for the system.

well honestly i think you updated a driver that wont work for your card uninstall it and try again. Some newer drivers wont work with cards and should only be updated if its "seriously needed!" also check to see if the card is properly attached with a screw and its not overheating and getting proper power flow

post pc specs
