    So I've had that nv.. crashing problems before.
    I've also had it where my 7811 just freezes and stutters midgame where I'm forced to hard reboot.

    I installed the nVidia ForceWare 257.15 and it's been working like a charm!!! :D
    No game crashes and freezes and my nVidia control panel overclock actually works and sticks...don't even need RivaTuner.
    I don't even have to force 3D Perf. Even with powermizer it works well.

    If I put the settings all the way down for basic work: web surfing, word documents, etc; I get a steady GPU Temp. of 42* C

    I usually OC the GPU to 650 Core, 850 MemClock, and 1625 Shader.
    My ceiling is usually 81* C, but it just hits it and calms down to around 65* C while I'm playing MW2.

    This has been the BEST forceware I've used.
    Any opinions? What forceware are you using? Dox? Other? SHARE!
