Tried using drivers from the Palit site and not the Nvidia ones?

XFX cards seem to only work with the offical XFX drivers and certain random Nvidia releases, could be something like that

On XP

Control panel > Add/remove programs

Sounds like a possible memory corruption, you may want to get that card looked at
