    I have tried RivaTuner...Ntune...Powerstrip...Nothing seems to oc my 8800m gts...I get weird clock readings when I open the programs, which, I would assume is due to them not being mobile compatible.. GPU-z is reading them correctly as stock defaults...

    Ntune also gives me a bsod...

    I am using a fresh install of Vista Home Premium x64 with SP1, all updates. Graphics driver is the lv2g 177.89.

    How did you get yours to work?

    177.73 atm . Try bumping the memory down to 850 then and see if you still get a black screen after abit of time. i really wish my card was as OC friendly as others were because when you start tapping the shader clock your FPS can go up by large amounts. If we could only bios flash and increase voltage id be set but alas our built in motherboard cards may never allow this.
