Obligatory NVIDIA cards suck for mining comment  ::). You should really see if the amount of electricity you are using is going to get you enough coins to pay the power bill. Otherwise it would make more sense to just buy them.

That being said, which miner are you using? What settings?

i did the cmd ones but with the computer crashing alot cause the cuda one freezes every time i stop it it got old so im using gui till i find a good working way

That is an old driver though right? Head over to geforce.com to get the latest.

Ohh, huh I thought they had moved past 280.00 already.

CHeck your card's capabilities with GPU-Z, maybe something isn't installed correctly?
