Just bought new system from overclockers. The Ultima OC 8800GTS SLI system. Runs fine except when running games. Will run games for various amounts of time(5 - 20 mins) then screen goes blank and display drivers have to be retrieved. Got latest drivers. Ran 3dmark06, got all the way through test, both single and SLI. (13000+ and 15000+ results). Is there something simple I can do or will I have to contact Overclockers?.
 
SLI only

Seem to run ok with single card but in SLI soon dumps me out of game and gives me nvlddmkm failed and restoring drivers, or something like that. Lookin on the net it seems a common problem.
 
drivers

Using 169.25, which are the latest ones, i think. Just annoying when things don't work. There's some beta ones but don't know if its a good idea to use or not.
 
more

tried 174.74s, just made drop of single card play aswell. Looks like its another phone call to Overclockers. Already had a none overclocked system plus a motherboard that died. LoL, not a good start and i haven't had the system 5 days.
 
nvlddmkm

Been reading some webpages and this file not repsonding seems to be my problem. And looks like loads of people are having the probelm. No one is sure how to solve it. Great,
 
ram

Took it back to Overclockers. They said it was the RAM and swopped it for new. Played crysis for 45 mins (was crashing after 5 -10 mins) and didn't crash. Yay.. hopefully thats it.
