:D i burned my 8800 gts 320mb and they don't have another laying around so maybe i'll get a 9800gtx or something as they usually send something comparable haha this is why i buy nvidia for the good rma when an old card that should die does. but for the week i guess i could play off my laptop

Shit! This is really awful.
I hope all the people with their burned cards can get their manufacturers of those cards to repair it.
Always been a loyal fan of Nvidia since the Geforce 1 era. Now i am considering ATI to be on my next PC when SC2 actually goes gold.

That is terrible for nVidia, don't they quality test their drivers? How can they miss something like that?

The same way MicroSoft missed 65000 bugs in Windows when they released it...

Um I installed these drivers yesterday, and my computer crashed (or rather wouldnt start again after I turned it off after install)...

although I read on some forum that just changing power socket (in the wall) for your power cable could solve this... so I did, and it actually worked.

Should I still revert to my old drivers? The problem for me was that with those drivers I couldnt play SC2, the game crashed every time I tried to start it. As it is now, it actually works fine.

It's not like it's that hard to go into rivatuner or MSI afterburner and turn the fan up to stop it from overheating... it's not like the driver physically makes the GPU hotter, it just fucks with the fan profiles (and sc2 has 100% gpu usage on menus)


Yeah, but you would only really do that AFTER you knew about this, which, in many people's cases (as you can see if you read the previous posts) is already too late.


You act like it's soooooo hard to predict the future. If you're too lazy to absently gaze into your crystal ball you deserve a fried video card imho

If you're running Vista:

press F1 > type "video card" > click "Video cards: frequently asked questions" > click "Click to open Display Settings." > click "Advanced Settings..." > click "Adapter" > click "Properties" > click "Driver"

You'll see "Driver Version". I think that's it.
