    My temps are at a good 70C when gaming and i still get driver failures. I did not get these when i had the 175.63 drivers. But now im getting this error like 3 hrs into COD4 and 10 minutes into crysis. What is going on.

    P.S. i am not overclocking my GPU anymore.

    Can someone suggest a better driver for my 8800m gts that i can use that wont give me this failure.

    Can this come from a DEFECTIVE VIDEO CARD. or is this just a driver issue.

    Can you give more details about the error?

    People say that 178.24 is a very stable driver

    When i play the game. I get the driver has encountered an problem and has recovered, ususally happens around 10 minutes in to crysis and a few hours into CoD4. I just installed 180.70 and will be testing this right now in CoD4 and Crysis. Hope i dont get that **** error any more.
