Boy, am i a happy bunny now, FIXED IT.

The problem was the graphics drivers, strange concidering i just changed the cpu and it was fine before that.

I was useing version-97.92, which worked great in Maya and games, until the cpu change.

As in last posts, i have only tried newer drivers but this morning i tried an older version-83.91, works great and very fast in maya

And the good thing is that as i run maya on it's own drive, i can keep it on the older drivers and it won't interfear with my games which can keep the newer drivers.

Thanks again for all the help peeps.
