UNSTABLE_MACHINE on 8800GT

Hi Guys,

I'm having problems with the 8800GT I've put into my media PC, says unstable PC but I don't know why

Any ideas?

Code:

useless log paste :P

I would hope its not a bad overclock, it was bought overclocked!

Evidently my log paste was rubbish and didn't actually give the error I was seeing

Turns out the problem was nvidia graphics drivers, that screws up when it switches off the monitor. Did some Win 7 power option tweaks and it seems to be running again

Only 5k a day, hopefully my PSU arrives back soon

Apparently the new beta drivers fix it, but since its a media PC that's essentially headless anyway I just set the monitor to be permanently on

Hmmmm, I also have the 560Ti, I'm surprised to hear you say it should be doing 20k, I've only ever seen 12k on the current setup (Windows v7, FaH v7). I also don't know when my SMP (2500K) is going to hit 10 WUs so I can get these bonus points!

Any tips for what settings/flags should be set, or should I be getting a linux client running in virtualbox?
