Yes Sir,

I even activated my onboard nvidia 8300 ( Asus M3N78-pro motherboard ) 
and the video and sound jumps around like crazy with it. I decided to 
download a new kernel from "testing" and used it with the nvidia driver. 
This did not solve the issue either. Once I switch the old geforce 
6200LE everything falls into place.

I wouldn't have switched at if my daughter hadn't purchased a new game 
which requires shading.

The nvidia driver installation process I use is found right here...first

I printed it up and use it every time I reinstall the driver after a 
kernel update.
