Hi and welcome to the Gigabyte Forum.

It sounds like a driver problem really from your description. It might be worth checking whether the firmware on your card is the latest though.

I would also check that you have the latest motherboard BIOS version.

In that case I can only suggest that you try a different driver. There have been a few problems with the nVidia drivers recently and maybe thats the cause.
