Okay, so my specs are at the bottom and this thread pertains to my main PC.
I reinstalled the OS a couple months ago and it used to always be stable,
of course I have no idea what drivers I was using two or three months ago. (17X.XX?)
I'm currently using 185.85 drivers on Vista 64-bit SP2 and getting crazy BSODs.
The only other changes I've made recently was flashing the mobo to the latest BIOS.
I'm not SURE that this is a video issue, but fairly confident. The hard lockups have been
occurring playing COD: World at War, watching YouTube videos, and strangely while
I have torrents downloading (PC idle). Occasionally while using WMP as well.
I've read that the 8800 series doesn't get along real well with the 18X.XX drivers,
but I've tried bouncing back to 17X.XX and some older 18X.XX drivers, to no avail.
Anyways, thanks in advance for any help and/or suggestions. Feel free to ask any
questions if any more detailed information is needed. Thanks! -Brian
