nVidia GeForce 6 Driver Crashing Win7/Vista
I recently borrowed a friends video card- an XFX GeForce 6800 XT 256MB PCI-E Video card and I put it in my desktop PC (HP Media Center, Quad Intel 2.4ghz, 4GB RAM, 750GB HD, etc) and I have discovered that the driver is causing my PC to freeze constantly.
I originally thought it was because of a weak power supply but I replaced my OEM with a 550W power supply and it continued to happen. Once I uninstalled the driver, the PC doesn't freeze at all. I tested this by re-installing the driver again and the PC proceeded to keep freezing (once frozen, the only thing I can do is manually power down and turn it back on).
So what on earth do I do here? The driver on nVidia's web site says it is for this card, made for windows vista/7 64 bit.. The same exact thing happened before I upgraded to Windows 7...
