well it seems relevant but i cannot fathom the 45-minute wait. sounds more like monitor problem to me if u need to let it warm up for so long. neve thought a graphic card needs warm up. maybe nvidia uses graphic diesel engine?

faile, have u uninstall any program or game or anything?
did u tweak your PC?
have u try firing up a 3D application or game & see if u have any irregularity with the graphics? u better try this out.

need to do some more tests before resigning to raze's last resort: clean install.

if it's really 45-minute-wait demon in your system, i'd rather do a 2 minute job inserting that splotchproblem 1 in config.lcl which will nullify the need for 45-munite wait.
