Well crud.

I though only like the FX5 series got these or something ;)

I leisurely open up UT3 and it's done loading, it freezes up and WHAM! BSOD. :eek:

So I reboot, and try Crysis. instead of the 20+fps I usually get it's running at around 10, I run about for 2 minutes and then it freezes with no reboot.

Reboot again today and Crysis runs fine at 20+fps for an hour.
PCI-E bandiwdth stayed at 16x when I was playing, didn't record when it was running at 10fps and then crashed.

Windows XP SP2
169.02
eVGA 8800GT

CPU I backed down to 3.2, RAM is at 400Mhz, GPU has always been rock steady at 713/1728/945. Since I know 728 can run Crysis / AtiTool fine.

Currently on desktop working fine. Load temps hit 57C on GPU, 46C CPU. GPU temp is higher than sig because I replaced my ugly fan configuration with a single tied 80mm.

I know theres a lot of topics out on this, but most of them deal with older cards.

*So, update drivers, and if that doesn't work load test / RMA the card?

I would try 169.21, they IMO and experience are the most stable drivers for the G92 series.

What do you use to remove old drivers? Drive Cleaner pro or Drive Sweeper....I have used both and Drive Sweeper have screwed up my last uninstall on my 780i board so much so that I had to reformat the HDD, Drive Cleaner pro workd flawlessly every time

Oh my god.

I have to reinstall last time I tried going from 129.02 to 169.04

but I used Driver Cleaner...

Should I also manually delete all the nvidia stuff by hand as well?

Just do a regular uninstall from control panel....then use Driver cleaner after you have booted into safe mode, reboot and isntall new drivers, reboot aagian and you'll be good

Ok so I'm on 169.21

Crysis doesn't go boom anymore (I tried! 60 falling tanks and 200 mines didn't do the trick)

Haven't got the nv4_disp error, so it seems ok. However, for forum wars I was going to volt mod, and I'm not sure about doing it on this card. Perhaps I should RMA?
