Graphics card Master

Pink huh? Maybe it's "that time of the month" for your PC.

So even after a clean install of Windows your PC is still crashing?

When does it crash?

Can you try installing the graphic card on a different PC to see what happens?

What power supply do you have?

it crashed quite a while before when i posted this. i've already dusted my PC. I have sufficient amount of power. (Rosewill 600w] not efficient though. Exchange thermal compound? lol Pink screen of death

my screen has gone pink. i feel like it's the grapic drvier, but did a clean install twice. I am on the latest nvidia driver 296.10.
it would sometimes freeze and have to restart the pc.

card:gtx 460


I get the same thing, you WILL have to downgrade the drivers to 295.73 (previous one) to get it working again like me. I'd get that pink screen when watching youtube videos in Win7!

I re-installed my whole pc, and at the same time added a 2nd drive for RAID 0 and it was STILL doing it.

I'm Running a Gigabyte h67-ud3h-B3 Mobo + 2500K cpu and 8gb of 1333mhz ram (everything up-to-date, bios, firmwares, Intel & gigabyte win7 drivers,etc...)
It's also a Gigabyte video card : GIGABYTE GV-N460OC-1GI V3 GeForce GTX 460

In Ubuntu before my whole Os re-install, it was running FINE, no corruption at all, so this is def a Win7 driver issue. Unified drivers suck ass mate.

I hope this helps, I'm still testing my rig with the old driver, I'll report back if it doesn't fix it. And try to follow the UN-install guide as much as possible, where he mentions removing the stereoscopic 3d driver, don't worry about it, ours is called Nvidia 3dvision and Nvidia 3D vision controller, just Remove those instead, as the forum article is quite old.

EDIT: Before the 296 Drivers, it was really stable , even on Furmark Benchmark for 15+ mins, didn't break a sweat (max 69 degrees) http://www.geeks3d.com/20120416/furmark-1-10-0-download...

Swap out your drivers. The 296.10's have been causing this in some rigs. You should try the 301.24 beta drivers, then you will also get the new FXAA, Adaptive VSync, etc. Just be sure to do a clean install.

should there be an whql version release of a 300 nvidia driver later on?

Yes, but don't fear that beta version. I've been using it for a week or two with no problems, and it's listed on the Nvidia website, so it's an "official" beta compatible with all their cards. WHQL doesn't necessarily mean that it won't have bugs in it either.
