Well I'll give that a try, thanks. I only installed the card this afternoon and I'm already deeply pissed off with it.
I'm on the 169.25 drivers and I didn't have time for any games because I spent so long trying to install the 174.44 drivers. I also spent ages trying to find gamer HUD. Google can't find it, it's not on Gigabytes website;eventually I remembered a link I'd seen in a post on (H)ARD Forums.
Anyway I got home tonight and did about 20 minutes in Crysis. It looked amazing and I suddenly felt hopeful.
Whilst the card was away I'd done a clean install of Vista 64x on a new drive and got all updates including SP1. Maybe this would do the trick, the 169.25s would be fine with SP1, as is suggested on Nvidias website (no more hotfixes get SP1)
Too tired for gaming tonight so I played an album through Winamp with a visualization on full screen.
I got " the display driver stopped responding but has recovered" message.
The nightmare has begun again.
I'm not sure I can stand much more of this.
