EVGA GTX 295 Bsod errors.

I'm getting BSOD's with a new recently installed EVGA GTX 295. I was previously using a GTX 260 SC and never had any problems. After getting and installing 295 I ran 3DMARK and it ran fine. P21686. Then I ran crysis warhead and it crashed in seconds and bsod'd. The error code it shows is as follows: (this happens every time I play this game)

*** stop: 0x00000116 (0xfffffA8008AA0010, 0xFFFFFA60030282F0, 0x0000000000000002)

*** nvlddmkm.sys - Address FFFFFA60030282F0 base at FFFFFA600300F000, 49cd1c8a

I am currently running the 182.5 drivers and uninstalled in device manager, deleted previous driver folder, restarted in safe mode, used driver sweeper, rebooted and installed 182.50, then rebooted. I have tried this twice. I have also tried 185.66 and same thing. I went back to 182.55 because it's not a beta and therefore...maybe...supposed to be proven to work.

Just trying to figure out if I have 1. a defective card, 2. insufficient power supply (thermaltake 750W W0116RU: says combined 60W on [ http://www.thermaltakeusa.com/Prod [...] 64&ID=1508 ] so that should be sufficient) or 3. I have no idea and maybe someone could have some advice

Thanks for any info. Here's my system:

Intel Core i7 920 @ 3.8Ghz
EVGA 132-BL-E758-A1 LGA 1366
CORSAIR DOMINATOR 6GB (3 x 2GB) DDR3 1600

1-Western Digital VelociRaptor 300gb
1-Western Digital Caviar Black 500gb
SAMSUNG 22X DVD±R DVD Burner with LightScribe
Acer X223Wbd Black 22" 5ms Widescreen LCD Monitor

My BFG GTX295 is not installed in a rig that is foreign from yours, however, my 920 is running @ 3.6Ghz, I'm using 12GB of RAM on a Asus P6T Deluxe. I'm using the exact same PSU as you and the same OS...I see we even have the same case. Anyways.

Consider dropping your CPU back a little bit and see if that makes a difference. Also, are there any patches for Crysis that you don't have installed?

Boot into safe mode and uninstall the driver...

Boot back into safe mode and install the LATEST driver.

I had major issues with my two 295's until I did that and then all was well in graphicsville.

Hi there guys,

I have the same issues. Mine is a Zotac GTX 295. Can run 3dmark vantage repeatedly without error, while for example WoW, Grid crashes with nvlddmkm.sys in less than 2 minutes.

Have you finally resolved this issue? Please, any help would be appreciated.
