GTX260 problems

[Venomos1996]

Well.... Vista64 isn't seeing my 260... it's seeing it as a VGA adapter yet everything else is seeing it as a 260. I tried to open up Everquest (yes I know lol.. ) and it automatically BSOD'd. It happened sooo fast I barely had time to even register that it Blue screened... then went to the safe mode screen to reboot. I then tried to get it to rate my system as the graphics were sitting at 1.0 and it BDoD'd again ... Could it be a driver problem?

That would be my first guess. I'd try getting the latest drivers

Google "nvidia drivers", chooset the first link, choose Vista 64, and get the newest drivers. Before installing, you may want to remove any current drivers.

If the drivers are a no-go, then go to BIOS and make sure the onboard video is disabled.

hehe... no onboard video with the Gigabyte X58 UD3R .... but I'm on the EVGA forums as well... I'll see what ones they suggest as well.. looks like the 182 series are the most stable atm.

I use the beta's on all of mine. I am on 185.68 and it runs great. Much better in games than my 182 release.

[Venomos1996]

and where did that 185.68 come from ??? you can pm me.. I just want this thing to run... LOL

[ChanceCoats123]

I pm'ed you. I before this I was using the previous beta release and it fixed some game instabilities for me. So +1 to beta's. I'll be using them from now on.
