Problems with Nvidia cards!!

[mrh2019]

Right after the problems I had with the msi oc ultra which I returned rma, have been looking through this and other forums and it seem the problems I had i.e. crashing with the error display driver stopped responding shown on screen on most games is very common across the range of NVIDIA 8800 cards not just ultras but also non over clocked gtx’s.. Nobody seems to have a fix for this either… I’m starting to wonder if I should go back to an ati card 2900xt as the problem doesn’t seem to afflict them and my old 1950xtx was never a problem.
Wonder what you all think about this….

Hi,, No its not a psu problem and i dont think it was a cooling problem, card was running between 60-80c, which is about right for these card's had a 120mm fan blowing across the card as well...
No i think the problem was either hardware (ie card) or software..
Big shame it was a really nice card,, ATi owners are not reporting major problems with their card's, execpt there not as powerfull, dont know what to do

Have you tried with your CPU/memory at stock mrh2019?

Have not tried running the cpu at stock speed, really don't think it is and cpu problem.. have overclocked cpu's big time using phase in the past with 2x6800 ultras running never had this sort of problem!! the memory is not overclocked... the really strange thing about this is that the card never crashed while playing stalker or benching using 3d06 but would crash within 30-45 mins playing company of hereos and sooner playing half life 2, anyway dont have the card anymore..
