Just for info - BFG 6800 GT acting wanky

[old.user4556]

All,

Graphics drivers are 66.93.

Just to say my BFG 6800 GT has been acting a little odd recently; desktop corruption, BSOD citing problems with an nvidia driver and graphics corruption in a couple of games. I stripped out everything (which was heavily caked in dust) and gave it a good blow (wij.....) with air duster and sucking (no wij... ) the dust/guff up with a hoover. I re-seated the card and all is well, not had a problem since, all games working fine.

Anyone else had a twitchy 6800 GT?

I have 66.93 too with my 6800GT...

I have noticed the colours are going all iffy at the moment, like, for instance in a game, which has buttons, which are coloured, they will appear all shitty... and another one is on MSN, them damn Emoticons, instead of being their standard yellow colour, they're all bright and you can hardly see em.

I have Powerstrip installed due to the monitor contract/gamma not been good enough, so i always thought it could be that which is causing the problem/s.. altho it may actually be the drivers, and ive also been hit with the BSoD's which i aint been hit with in months - Altho that seeminly is down to the IBM Hard Drive i have (fuckfuckfuck!)

MY GTs are a bit twitchy - enable SLI = lock up as soon as I go to 3d or try to adjust the driver settings (which means driver reinstall to recover sadly).

The 6.6.9.3 drivers are dodgy anyway, tried them before and got a batch of problems, reinstalled them however and not had a problem since.

hmm, I'm running them, got a couple of other versions to try as well tho. =o
