Thanks Brink, maybe I'll give that one a whirl....:)
Later Ted
Has anybody tried the newest Nvidia drivers 180.70 and 180.60?
No they haven't been released for my card.
I am using the 180.60 from the advice of xguntherc on Vistax64, he also said that the 180.70 was other words a dud and people were having allot of issues with it, so go with the 180.60 I'm having no troubles with it and it's supposed to give increased fps in most games.
Thanks for the heads up. I had the latest official Nvidia drivers installed and they were giving me issues. I went ahead an installed the 180.70 and saw a little improvement. I will install the 180.60 and see of those go!
Update: I tweaked around with the 180.70. They seem to be running pretty good on my machine. I did notice an increase on FPS. So far so good :)

Hello,
I'm new to the forums, but I'm so frustrated I figured I'd post and see if anybody else has the solution to this problem. I'm able to install Windows 7 32 bit just fine, but when I install any nvidia drivers (the ones via WU or official Nvidia site) I get a black screen just after the "windows loading" screen on reboot. I can boot into safe mode, but even removing drivers doesn't fix it. I'm stuck reinstalling windows. I recently installed Vista 64 bit on another hdd and have the same problem (although I can uninstall drivers in safe mode just fine in vista). I have two EVGA 8500GT cards, an ASUS M2N32-SLI Deluxe Wifi Edition mobo, and an HP W2007 monitor. Any help would be much appreciated.
I also had this similiar issue. What I did to solve it was change from my dvi cable to my vga cable for my monitor. When I did this it worked for me. If that doesnt work try to find compatible drivers for your monitor.
this just kills me because the nvidia drivers work in xp...I haven't tried switching to vga yet. I'll give that a go.
I unfortunately haven't benched in a while - and I haven't installed W7 as an OS on the HD yet, just as a VM - so I cannot really test the new drivers to see if they are any better....
Anyone else?
I was able to get drivers installed no problem once I removed one of my 8500gt cards. Intalling with only one went fine. I'll try to put the card back in and sli later...
