Out of answers on OCing(8800gts 512)

Seems no matter what program i use to OC my gts none of them are registering. Riva just asks me for endless reboots to detect the card and atitool gave me this error, The kerrnel mode driver doest not seem to be running. I'm using forceware 175.16 32bit vista. Also to add a strange note on GPU-Z its not reading my core or mem clock, the only numbers it gives me is the default clock speeds

Any help would be great

you know what that same thing happened to me when i did a bios mod to my 8800GTs. After i flashed both 8800gt with custom bios and rebooted one card registered normal but the second card wouldnt register. I tryed everything from resting the motherboard bios to flashing back to the original bios to even buying a 2nd of the same motherboard still nothing. Posted on a few forums with no answers.

Eventually i just decided to just do a clean install of Vista (with modded 8800gt bios) and both cards registered!
If you have an extra hdd id suggest trying that.

Hmm don't have a spare HD atm, now im interested if this has happened to anyone else? Looking around on the other forms turned up nothing weird.

wipe clean all drivers, the clean again in safe mode, install the lastest drivers.

With riva, did you select detect now, or reboot to detect?

gonna trying cleaning out drivers in safe mode, also i tried both reboot and detect. It was a no go either way. Will post a update trying now with drive sweeper.

Edit, Heres something weird, Did a uninstall and everything was going smooth ran safe mode used drivesweeper to get rid of leftovers, rebooted powered up the evga tool(just happned to have it set to run on startup). Ran all the clocks everything looked good. Ran Rivatuner nada, ati tool nada, this time around gpuz was reading the card right so i rebooted with Rivatuner to detect the card and now im back to square one. Nothing coming up no clocks. So now I'm just confused to what my problem really is. Is it in my comp, is it something with Riva, the evga tool picked up everything fine and gpuz was reading it good so idk what the problem is, and just clicking detect now didnt do anything on riva
