argh ******* great. just installed these and had a "driver not responding and it recovered" error. all i had open was firefox browsing ocuk - not even gaming. :eek:

edit: just happened again. back to the 8.4s for me. and to think i've been put off nvidia because of these kind of problems.... :p
Click to expand...

well the error i was getting was something like "atikmdag has stop responding and needed to be restarted". so i've been a googling and found this reg fix which has sorted my problem. been running the 8.5s for a day now with no problems - initially i was getting the error within minutes. it's a vista thing so can apply to nvidia cards with the same error too (obviously with the nvidia equivalent to "atikmdag" driver name :p)

if it affects you too, save this as a .reg file then double click it to import it....

Code: 
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers]
"TdrLevel"=dword:00000000
"TdrDelay"=dword:00000010
"TdrDdiDelay"=dword:00000005
"TdrDebugMode"=dword:00000003

to undo, just repeat with this.....

Code: 
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers]
"TdrLevel"=-
"TdrDelay"=-
"TdrDdiDelay"=-
"TdrDebugMode"=-
