Quadro 4 700 Go GL

I need some advice on my problem with the new card Nvidia Quadro 4 700 GO GL on my Inspiron 8200

When it works fine, it works fine, great, normal...

But after the computer has been switched off for some time and then switched on again the first time, it always crashes.

But just the first time!

Once i got a "system device failure" message, other times just a crash had to power off. When crashing i see the screen distorting not majorly but weird patterns foming.

But once 2nd reboot is done really it works smooth, games fine etc....

This has been going on for 3 days now since i first got the card.

I'm using latest official dell drivers at the moment and did try 44.68 but seems to be worse with it.

Is this card faulty? should i return it?

PLease help. Is the new card just getting adjusted to my computer?

Or is it because i need to defragment my 25percent fragmented C drive?

Will now try reinstalling windows by which time i hope there are some answers...
