the first time i atribbuted it to a glitch in Coh ... and then i started to have problems witn it in other games ... now it seems to give em problems when ever i stress the video card. here is what i'm running

Asus A8N sli premium ...
AMD 3800 64 x2

Try switching to the 84.20 beta drivers; also try disabling the Nvidia firewall if you're using it.

Sell both GS cards, and get a 7900GTX?? :-)

Just kidding....


Latest drivers, game patches installed?

Each video card seated securely?

(Are cpu and video cards running at stock clocks, or OC'd?)

tried both the newest drivers and the ones that came with the cards ... as well as the games both up todate i haven't yet tried that beta driver yet but i intend to ... iti s possible that i'm over heating ... i looked at my set up and i must have been on drugs when i set my hd's and my vid cards so close together cutting off the air flow from my massive fan ... so i'm seeing if maybe it is cooling as well ... gonna do that asus probe thinggy
