Nvidia Driver has failed but successfully recovered

[AndyOcUK]

Any ideas?

Been running 169.09 flawlessly on Vista 64 for weeks. Last few days, my system is on its arse with this bug.

Done loads of reading up and there are thousands with this problem. Why the problems now when its been ok for weeks?

Running 8800GTX on Antec Quattro 850W so PSU is definitely not an issue

Any particular driver versions you'd recommend?
The 169.25's seem to slow my general desktop responsiveness down massively. Lots of flickering and stuttering etc.

Outlook 2003 junk mail windows update is one of the reported causes.

Fixed. New Replacement Gainward Bliss 8800GTX installed and all is well now.
