I plan to try it tonight after I get home. Also I plan to try to switch the video card to the other PCI-E (2.0) slot on the mainboard. Just for test.(I am not sure if it matters but any way It can be something connected with this slot). After that I will run the memtest86+ for the night and I will let you know about the results in the morning.

Thank you a lot for your help and dedication to help me.

Best regards

So I have installed the nvidia desktop 295.73 WHQL driver and it didn't change a lot. This time I tested for the error in World of Warcraft game and I got such an error. As far as I get it this means that the drivers in this case are irrelevant. I will not post a picture but it was the same thing - black screen ( refreshing ) and the sys. notification down in the right corner of the screen. As you probably know WoW game does not require very good graphic card and still with this card it should not be a problem. I will start now the Memtest for the next 10 hours. So I will post the test results in the morning.


Write to you later

I have the same thing on my x64 partition. On my other system partition with x32 Windows 7 this problem has yet to occur.

From what I read on nvidia forums you might want to downclock your core clock to 772.

I haven't tried it since mine crashes only like once a week which doesn't bother me that much, it's frustrating don't get me wrong especially if you get it couple of time in a row.

You can always try to write to Nvidia.

Dave,bow and everybody else

Thank you a lot for your help and support. I am filled with happiness that such people as you exist.

What I did is that : I gave back the video card ( Palit GTX570 Sonic platinium 1280mb ) to the distributor I bought it from. They will check it and (I hope) probably will give me another one or I will have the chance to chose new one. Te other option for a video card for this money and different brand is this one : ASUS EAH6970 /DCII/2DI4S/2GD5 . Could you please be as helpful as you were for one last time it ( I hope ) in this thread and tell whether this is a good choice or it isn't?
And if you can say will it fit my configuration ( Asrock extreme4 gen3 , intel core i7 2600, seasonic 850W bronze)?
I kinda need the answer till tomorrow midday.

Thank you guys again.

Have a nice evening.

Best regards
