Latest nVidia Drivers 91.31 Problems ?

[ademcg]

Guys,

Like any good soul I try and keep my drivers (be they graphics or anything else) up to date.

However I think I am experiencing problems with this latest set from nvidia for my BFG 7800Gt OC.

for the past week( I updated them on day of release) I have had random drop outs from games (Day of Defeat:Source and Guild wars) often to desktop after the screen and action freezes.
Sometimes the PC just hangs on one frame of the action and I have to push the reset button and reboot.

It didn't happen with the previous version of nvidia's drivers, my only added complication is the temperature of the room over this last week, its been high 20's even at midnight .

I would be interested to hear if anyone else is having trouble with this driver release, so I can eliminate the need for added cooling.

I have never been a fan of Beta drivers (too many problems, afterall they are pre release stuff) I think I will try the old version and take it from there
Cheers for the replies guys

Well I have gone back to 84.21 and all seems well again.

FFS nVidia sort yourself out,..if your going to release something(not BETA) then let it be bug free.

I think I will stick with these for some time, or at least until my X1900XTX arrives (next week)

91.33's all OK here.

Always wanted to be a test pilot, so when new drivers come along, I install them and then put my fingers in my ears after a reboot!

And with nVidia that is the best approach,..oh and crossed fingers of course, although that can be tricky to fit in your ear
