constant gtx480 TDR's?

[Boycey0211]

Right this has only started happening in the last couple of weeks but now its bloody ridiculous!

First time I noticed it was coming in from work to an idling pc with a flashing salmon screen, and wouldnt reboot for maybe 5 minutes.

Now its constant, and all since i've updated to the latest drivers, i've heard theres numerous other people having the same problem and would love to know how to fix it. I've checked out my PSU and done a mem check and i'm even getting the windows fail reports indicating the graphics drivers, sometimes it recovers, sometimes not.

If ever there was a time to drive me into the arms of ATI, this couldn't have been more appropriate... glad I didn't buy that 580...

i7 o/cd to 4.3, however will crash at stock 3.4 (Venom cooler)
8gb Corsair Vengeance 1833 running at stock timings and voltage
P8P67 Pro MB
Vertex 2E 60gb running as the boot drive
Gigabyte GTX480 SOC model running at stock speeds, never bothered to o/c it
PSU is 1000W corsair, tried both 12v rails for the graphics card, no change in symptoms

If you can, system restore from safe mode to a time before you installed the drivers and work from there.

right disabling aero then re-enabling it seems to have done the trick for some reason, although with aero disabled it was TDRing every 5 minutes without fail, even without graphically intensive stuff running. Cant really do a roll back due to the fact that the previous drivers mean I can't play BF3, or if I can then my TV card doesnt work

Fingers crossed Nvidia sort this out soon, but for now it seems to have subsided
