Ok I will try the following tonight and come back:

uninstalling the Nvidia drivers and let Vista do its own thing with drivers in windows update!

Your case isnt full of dust is it? whip the side of and shove the hover in there

I dont know much but it seems as its only doing it when your running games then the card will be getting hotter and if there is dust in there that wont help.

OK i have a serious problem, i've just downloaded ATI tool and showed the 3D view the temperature skyrocketed to 82C then the screen flickered and the display driver stopped responding.

Now i used the ATI Tool to set the graphics cards fan speed to 100% it decreased the temperature to 80C and still the driver stopped responding. Are these temperatures high for a graphics card.

Now i have recently invested in a new case Ante Three Hundred gaming case it has the top mounted intake fan the rear mounted exhaust. front mounted intake and side mounted exhaust.

Surely thats adequate cooling no

Man this is so annoying. I have one game that I havent had any issues with ever! Day of Defeat Source. It has never caused my Vista installs to crash. suggesting this cant be a hardware fault.
