    I updated today, it automatically turned off my SLi setting.
    I then turned SLi back on, then it messed up my desktop icons, so I had to re-arrange them.
    Then i noticed after every few icons I move, the desktop freezes for a few seconds then goes back to normal.
    Is anyone else having this problem?

    Don't ask me why but SP2 messed up my Intel X3100 - I uplugged the AC supply and the drier would start crahingresulting in a BSOD - reinstallation did nothing... (in fact it decided it would run bet on16 Bit after reinstallation...??)

    Oddly enough, after I once went into the power saver modus the problem vanished as if it never existed?

    Maybe playing with your power settings helps... you could alwas try to reinstal the driver...

    Yeah, my NOD32 is acting retarded too. It's working fine FOR NOW, but I know it won't on the next restart.
