I have been having tons of random crashes that I originally thought were due to my overclock.

After clocking it down I am still having these issues. The system hangs up and crashes it could be while surfing the web or just sitting on the desktop.

I let the windows problem center run and it always is tied to the nvidia drivers.

So far I have removed the old drivers. Ran driver cleaner pro and installed the newest Nvidia 64 bit vista drivers but the problem continues.

I am not sure what is the problem. I can run 3dmark06 and play games but I get these random crashes dealing with the drivers.

Any one have any advice or driver version they know works?

8800 Ultra doesnt seem to like Vista 64 bit.

Try a different Driver a newer one or older.See if its really a driver issue.

I was having the problem with 175 Driver... just random shut downs when idle..

Running the Modded .inf and the 177.40 Drivers now, no crashes yet..

nVidia Geforce 177.40 Drivers Modded .inf forr added card support Supports all cards

I have tried older and newer drivers but to no avail so far. I went ahead and emailed EVGA just to get the ball rolling or see if they had anyone else having issues and they replied that if the drivers had a clean install there is probably no problem.

He went on to say that sometimes windows reports a crash caused by your RAM as a video card driver error and to run memtest again.

So I let it run while im out yesterday to come back and find 396 errors so now I got to figure out what is wrong with that and hope that is really the problem and I havent discovered problem number two....

thanks so far...
