Get the latest, official, non-beta driver. Install those and see how things turn out. |

A BSOD is usually caused by bad driver installations or bad memory or other hardware problems.
What stop error did you get? |

Here's a question ... is this a new PC or did RF work on it before at one time? ...
Im guessing a new one, but you never actually said it ... |

| Quoting D2k | This thread isnt full of Censored , its full of fail. Leave the smartass comments to the pro. Too many people trying to make a smartass comment and failing. 
Although when I play RF I dont get the blue screen of death, I get the red screen of life.  |
Please keep your own non helping fail smart CENSORED comments to yourself. |

Blue screen is different in Vista. In Vista the BSO covers all errors and crashes. Microsoft got even lazier.
Fact, A recent report Indicated that 80% of all Blue screens in Vista are caused by Nvidia drivers. no surprise there |

After a few days of trial and error, I have come to the conclution that this problem is caused by all 177 series drivers. Now I am sticking with 175.19. the bugs and other losses far out way the benefits of the 177.XX.
177.xx pros & cons:
PRO PhysX support
CON lower frame rate overall in all games I tested, however they clam improvements
CON Blue screen on RF and a few rare Blue screen on Winfast PVR2
CON unable to add most games and apps to custom profile
CON Overlay mixer render does not work with hardware acceleration, must resort to software safe mode.
All these bug I found apply to all of the 177. drivers
I should be Nvidia's driver tester
I have reported all these to nVidia for every 177. release. But do the listen No |

nVidia CUDA 2.0 177.84 drivers run RedFaction with no BSoD..... FPS improvement is also within the 177 version, FPS benching includes Crysis and CSS(FPS improved in particular bits by ranges of 5FPS or more in Crysis and 10-20FPS more in CSS).
As for the rest, meh. |

Sounds like the dreaded NVLDDMKM bug  I've been getting this error in Vista with the latest drivers on my 280GTX's.
Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered.
It seems there are no real solutions and after almost 2 years still no fix from Nvidia. No wonder ATI(AMD) are gaining hold of the market again  |

| Quoting inf3rnus | | 177.xx drivers only apply to the 200 series cards right? I downloaded drivers for my 8800GT the other day the latest version was 175.41 I think. |
I run an 8800GT 512 using the 177.xx drivers. They are fine. Perhaps the CUDA based drivers are more stable? |

I honestly have had mixed feelings about AMD since it bought ATi ... AMD is basically trying to design CPU's for gaming ... but the only way they could acquire the knowledge was to buy a video card company ... before they tried co-operating with NVIDIA to try to make better CPU/GPU relations ... |
