Hey guys. The HTPC my roommate and I have set up to watch movies, WMC, browse the web, watch youtube vids, etc. (no games really) has been BSOD'ing lately with the infamous nvlddmkm.sys error and kernel driver flickers. I swapped the card out (Nvidia 8800 GT) which used to be in my primary computer back in the day with the one that is currently (GTS 250) and the issues followed the card. Only started happening the last two weeks, to the point where now it will do it after 1 minute of any video.
Anyway, we're looking to replace the card with something that will fit the bill. Not looking to spend a lot, and can probably get away with a card a few generations back.
Here is what I think I know about the computer, as it was pieced together:
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3R
CPU: Intel i5?
PS: Antec 430W
Can anyone recommend some cheap cards? I looked up the 8800 GT specs and was going based off of those, and a list of ranked Nvidia cards, trying to find one maybe a generation or so newer, to keep it under $100.
