Have you tried downloading the latest Vista drivers and running them? They seem to work much better then the ones Windows installs.

well as far as my non professional opinion goes... again i would try the vista drivers as my 9800GTX has had no issues what so ever...if it still happens then... i would take out ur 8800 and in the spot where the water dripped on teh PCB, look for any tiny burn marks that could indicate a shorted out board... it could be something to do w/ how the card runs the driver, so if there is a short in a certain spot... you could be screwed....

The card still works, as far as booting, and 2D and 3D, but I get random crashes while in 3D... "Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered" I'm HOPING like hell it's driver related, and not a ****ed vid card! So if anyone else with nVidia hardware is having this error, please chime in! Thanks Same thing on build 7048(x64) and 7057, Vista drivers and the W7 drivers... |

Yea, I just went with those drivers as the beta driver don't allow dualview desktop and SLi.
Also having issues with desktop themes crashing. I'm running the newer 7057 build.

I am using 7057 as well. |
