Grief, woe, despair and hideous black screens
ilikefishfood:
Had problems with my NVIDIA card as well; except I'd get a blue screen. Tried everything, including updating drivers, back-dating them, adding more RAM. Eventually came across some threads in various forums where others were having issues with some series of NVIDIA cards (Maxis actually quietly removed some of them from their "ok" list that had originally been given the green light.)....Finally, bit the bullet and bought a Radeon, and have not had a single problem since. THe issue disappeared immeidately.

I've considered that, but I just got this card (and whole 'puter) back in April and I really need to deal with my car situation before I consider throwing more money at my computer. It's a frustrating situation, but the 'crash' isn't frequent enough to give me too much grief at this point. I can deal with saving regularly and just rebooting after the crash as long as I get a good chunk of play time in between crashes. I finally gave up on my old computer when I couldn't even play NWN for five minutes without it crashing.

Try eBaying it.
ZiggyDoodle:
Are the problem cards primarily nVidia?
I recently installed an ATI Radeon X850XT - plus a second card fan - system runs beautifully. Never did had problems with the first one either though (also an ATI).
MrsH, have you contacted nVidia about the problem?

After screwing with this for 7 months, I bought an ATI. I tried asking nvidia at their forums -- 5 weeks and no response, status is "researching."
