Recently installed a new Evga 9600gt SSC edition into a fresh built system with vista home premium 32 bit. The system appeared stable but about 30 seconds into 3d mark it crashes and vista says the video driver Nvlddmkm has stopped working but has been recovered. The problem then continues in a cycle until eventually the system crashes into a BSOD or hardlock. This happens with all 3d applications and sometimes even just idling. I have tried multiple drivers to no avail. I have tried it on 2 systems both have the problem.
Nothing is overlocked ever at all.
System A. core 2 quad kentsfield Q6600, 2gd ddr2 667, (gateway motherboard with latest bios and drivers. Tried with vista ultimate 64 bit as well. SAME PROBLEM with 64 bit driver. Also stable with 8500gt/8600gts.
System B - All new components was completely stable with same driver and an 8500gt. Have tried different power supplies as well. Athlon x2 6000, Abit an52v, 2gb DDr2 800 OCZ 4-4-4-12.
I am at a complete loss, apparently this problem was common when vista and nvidia drivers were maturing. I cannot find an answer amongst all the people looking for help. I dont see how it could be the card itself, considering its brand new and it does operate fine for the time before it crashes. help!
