Hi,

I just updated my NVIDIA driver from 186.18 to 190.62 from nvidia.com

First thing I found out, EVGA precision 1.8.0 don't display GPU temperature anymore. GPU-Z showed false reading temperature(29' idle)

Everest still display them though (I'm using this at the moment).

Then I ran 3D Mark 06 (with 8 sample AA and anisotropic), after about 30 seconds it just went to black screen. Then back to windows with pop up error message (I can't remember what the error was).
Followed by vista error:
"display driver stopped responding and has successfully recovered" :mad:

Tried COD 5 at max setting, found artifacts (especially with water effect)
Crysis warhead max setting crashed (monitor just went "no input detected")

I lowered my clock to: 700/1594/1300 from 740/1685/1400 (linked both GPU)

740/1685/1400 was fine with 186.18, CoD and crysis were running smoothly :headscrat

what is going on? does gtx 285 tend to crash with driver 190.62 at high AA?
