    Both on Performance and Entry the nvidia driver crashes and recovers suring the CPU tests.

    Anyone have any idea why?

    Using DOX 182.05 driver.

    I remember one of the futuremark benchmarks require IE to be installed.

    Reinstall didn't fix it. ON the AI portion there are lots of artifacts and it seems to freeze, then kills the video driver.

    I have IE installed, since it's part of the operating system.

    Are you overclocking anything?

    Also try to remove the drivers and load the official nvidia notebook drivers and see what they do. They just came out with some new ones this month. Thus far I have no problems with them.

    If you still have problems than its possible also the video card is going. Unless you are overclocking...

    I actually got this same problem a while back when I tried using vantage, 3dmark06 worked perfectly fine though.

    Yeah, I'm not overclocking anything and nothing else has any graphical problems, so I guess it must be a 3dmark thing.
