How does all that happen when only switching slots on the GPU??
This is why I run ATI lol. (Not to sound like a fanboy or something, but this is exactly the kind of trouble I had running single cards with 8800 series).

Everyone loves nVidia driver's I had nothing but nightmares when I picked up a few 8800 cards a while back.

Run driver cleaner (sweeper on Vista or 7) and reinstall drivers.
