    Hi,
    So that’s what I have been getting since last evening. No texture/display corruption, just freeze and NVLDDMKM. Had these errors in the past and I fixed them by running the 8800 fan @ 100%. That fix is no longer working. Temperatures (including GPU) are fine and voltages solid.
    Time for RMA…:-how many of you guys have had failures with Nvidia 8 series parts? :wallbash:

    what about changing the driver? i had this issue but it was only resolved by doing a fresh install of Vista.

    Did you try the 186 series drivers? maybe it's a bug in the 190 drivers.

    I used to get that in Crysis with my 8800GT, but seemed fine inbetween and had no longlasting effects. Latest drivers aren't always the best, they can fix old problems bring up new ones :sigh: maybe have a fiddle with different drivers and see if it helps?

    I had an 8800GTX 'die' on me two days after I installed it. I guess it got knocked around in transport or something and had a bad contact on something, as for the first day it was OK, the next day it got a lot of work and started artifacting all over the place. But I had terrible luck with the 8 series cards as I had two 8800GT's DOA - plug 'em in and nothing (except BIOS beeps for VGA failure...)

    The third one worked fine, though, and is still going like a trooper. :)
