6800GT Problem.....

[KennyBhoy]

On Thursday i noticed when my PC booted up that something didn't look quite right....Web browsing and general Windows use looked "sluggish".....I checked my GFX card in System settings and sure enough, i was presented with a "Code 10 -This Device Cannot Start" ...

A reboot didn't solve my problem....So i uninstalled the drivers and let Windows find New Hardware.....Reinstalled the drivers and voila.....It worked.

Today though, all was fine until i rebooted the PC, it's now back to Code 10 - This Device Cannot Start and an uninstall/reinstall is not working this time.....It's baffling me.....I say baffling me as i seem to be only having problems with my main Windows partition.....I have 2 installs incase the poo hits the fan.....

It works fine on my second partition but not my main partition (with all my gear)

I know it can't be hardware based but something driver or Windows based......Any ideas?

is it an irq conflict?

Doesnt seem to be no

Unfortunately I had this before and the only solution can fix it once and for all is a fresh install of Windows.

I'm trying to avoid that if i can.......A 5th reinstall of the latest drivers has made it work but i bet when i reboot next.....Its back to square one.......I'll do a fresh install once this annoys and pushes me too far
