Display Driver Stopped Responding...Win7 64
I'm getting the "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered
Display driver NVIDIA Windows Kernal Mode Driver, Version 197.03 stopped
responding and has successfully recovered" message.
New machine: Asus PT6 mobo, Intel i7 920, 12 GB of Patriot DDR3 RAM, Nvidia Quadro FX3800, Corsair 750W PS, Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.
Fortunately it doesn't happen all that often. The screen flashes black and then the alert message pops up after it recovers. I'm not losing any data, but it's a real pain in the @ss.
I've done my research and I see some posts about the TDR thing for Vista, but haven't seen anyone mention this happening on Windows7. I'm running the latest drivers and have the latest BIOS updates on my mobo- so I'm weary of the standard "oh install the latest video drivers" lackluster response.
Seems like NVIDIA says it's a MS issue, and MS seems to be saying it's a vendor issue. Who's right here? Surely someone has a sure-fire fix for this issue? I paid enough for this card and machine to expect it to run flawlessly and it's obviously not.
