need help with power mosfet

[affi]

i am making a power mosfet chopper circuit and i am having some problem. i am using pwm to control it.
i have control speed of a 1.1 kwatt motor with it. The circuit works fine when i apply 5 volts an the control signal but as soon as i apply pwm the mosfet gets burns. I am apply a pwm of 4 kHz. it has to chop voltage from 320 vots dc to 130 volts dc.
plz see the attachments

Dear affi
Hi
What do you mean by 5 volts , exactly ? is your mean that your GS voltage is 5 volts ???!!! if yes , why not ? my mean is why not your mosfet be burned ?! it is usual ! you should drive your mosfet with 15 volts , not 5 volts ! at the voltages below 12 or 15 volts , your mosfet will be at linear region and it means dissipative region , try to increase your command signal up to 15 volts .

the N-channel MOSFET is driven by 12V derived from U1 which looks fine.....please provide a discharge path during turned off condition for the Cgs of the MOSFET by providing a Pull down resistor or any active control which might help.......

or use an opto coupler that has totem pole at it's out put

Easiest way would be use IR2121 mosfet driver. so you wont need much of mathematics for choosing components.
