Posted December 18, 200717 yr For some reason on EVERY game, after about 15 minutes maybe less, it will freeze and loop. Sometimes it will crash after freeze and sometimes it goes back to normal. When it crashes it says: Display driver nvlddmkm has stopped responding and has successfully covered which makes me think its something with my Nvidia Card. Note: *It cant be Vista because even Vista games crash* Computer Specs Windows Vista Home Premium 3 GB RAM Nvidia GeForce 7200 320 GB Hard Drive Memory Intel Pentium Dual Core Processor I was thinking of getting the Nvidia 8800 GT for christmas since it supports Vista and Direct X 10 (Which is probably giving me the problem) Any suggestions?
December 19, 200717 yr Check nVidia website for latest driver. ...or, rollback ur current driver to a previous release. 163.75 is the latest version, which version do you have?

December 19, 200717 yr Author sorry for late post, but nope still not working. just gonna buy the 8800 . and myraid: rifk, linux doesnt do games
December 19, 200717 yr Might wanna check the ram. I had a bunch of blue screens with error messages from dxdiag, nivida, graphics crap etc... ANd it was a bad stick of ram. Plus if you're using 3 sticks and they're all different it can fuck with dual channel etc etc. Take out a stick or 2 and see if that does anything.

Vista or not having DX10?

Im saying i don't think my current graphics card supports it. But it might since it says Vista Ready on the cover. All i know it has something to do with my graphics card and nvlddmkm.sys file.
