GTX260 problem: crashes
I just got a GTX260 after my 2900XT died, and it:
-crashes instantly after loading a level in Call of Duty 5
-crashes about 10 seconds into TF2
-crashes in CSS
-crashes anywhere from 20 seconds to 1 minute into Left4Dead
-randomly kicks me out of wurm online after maybe 20 minutes
^ all tested in empty servers I made, or single player
Works fine on Company of Heroes.
Running windows 7: 7100 x64
PSU: 750W corsair
CPU: Q6600 @3.0
Mobo: Gigabyte P35C-DS3R
heat- is fine, around 50C
The 2900XT ran fine in this version, and because the card runs in Company of Heroes, I dont think it is the card itself, so I thought it would be a driver issue- but I have tried the 186.18/186.08/185.85/181.71 drivers, properly uninstalling each in between and used driver sweeper.
The best one was the 185.85, as one time it actually let me play TF2 for 10 minutes.
Is the card bad for some reason? Is it just nvidia drivers and I should patiently wait for better ones to come out? I have read the reccomeneded driver thread here and it did not help- Can I use windows x64 drivers?
would moving to x32 w7 solve all of my problems?
