Well, that was a Firefox error box with a courtesy Kernal self recovery notification, so.... [being a nit, I know]

There is something really wrong if a FF error comes up during use of anything else.

21.0 is so new, that's probably just a 'feature'

Hi bud, I was referring to this error, not the FF one.
I wandered if it only came up when using FF or if it came up when using the PC for other stuff. Just trying to track down the problem.

Hi Paul,
Last night I tried IE10 and the Display driver error still popped-up, but did not crash IE10.

This morning even at a cold temp. start, the Display driver error popped-up again, with-in the first minute. So the possibility of the GPU overheating and causing the problem can be crossed off the list !

Any ideas ?

Or do I know what you are going to say already ?

Yeah, I think you know.

Unless anyone else can think of anything, it's gonna have to be an RMA sadly.


Paul.

Yes, I agree it's time to RMA.

This is in response to a post on GeForce:

Maybe someone can give it a look to see if it reffers to a fix for my problem ?

You could spend hours running memtest, trying old drivers, making regedits.. etc. As you just purchased the card, RMA is the best option. I'm sorry, I know that's not the answer you want.

Don't get me wrong here, I couldn't care less if I have to RMA the card.

I posted the link to see if there was a fix I could use but, I did not understand what I was reading and knew some of the "test's" were over my head.

The fix that usually works (if it works) is an older video driver. If not it is usually memory related.

If it was just a bad fan, you could have just replaced the fan with an additional case fan bolted to the radiator with metallic wire. And maybe torn away the defective fan.
Will look very very ghetto, but as long as it is big enough you won't have issues.
I did that a few times.

Now it is too late, but just saying.

Originally I installed the drivers from the cd that came with it, before doing the update to 314.22

Thing is I can't recall how it ran before the update

Plus I just reinstalled the GeForce 210, which has an update waiting to be installed but it is 314.22
So for now I will wait to see how it works out even though it was running fine before with the 314.22 installed.
