8600M GT Driver issues

Hi,

I'm having some driver issues that I'm completely stumped with.

I'm running a Vostro 1700, with the 8600M GT. For some reason the performance seems to completely die in games after a reboot, and the only way to get them to run as normal is to reinstall the graphics drivers again (even just over the top).

I've tried defualting my settings and rechanging them (i.e. set to high performance & turning off battery management) but this doesn't work either.

I'm only playing TFC really as well (Half-Life 1 Mod) which is 9 years old and should be running at 100fps constantly, which it does when I install the drivers! After a reboot this drops to 20-70 and the huge unstable varience makes it unplayable.
