    Well, I keep getting appcrashes when playing L4D2.

    Went to the Sager/Clevo driver 8771 IIRC and that gave me a big fat BSOD.

    Going to try 186.81 now....

    Yay, problems for desktop cards. Here I sit with my favorite driver 196.75 WHQL with zero problems and a cool GPU.

    Just wanted to say my issues were due to the crappy HyperX memory.

    Going back to 196.75 now :D
