The first thought is - does it show these symptoms in other operating systems (try a few bootable images) ? If it does then you're probably looking at a hardware problem - most likely the heatsink is no longer in good thermal contact with the CPU. If not then we're chasing a FreeBSD problem. It may well be worthwhile installing the GPU driver, certainly worth trying - there are a *lot* of nvidia driver packages so read the docs carefully to get the right one. -- Steve O'Hara-Smith
