Anybody else crashing with 175.16 install?

I am running Vistax64 and as soon as I install the latest driver for my 8800GTS 512MB KO from EVGA, it crashes. I've spoken to EVGA and they were really surprised. I am currently using 169.xx (from Dec. '07) and haven't had any problems.

I'm just wondering if there are other people out there with a similar problem or solution to this problem?

Actually, Frustrated Man, I had almost the opposite- game performance was slightly choppy with the 169 drivers but it rock solid with the 175 drivers for my eVGA 8800 GTS 512MB KO edition GA in Vista Ultimate x64 w/ SP1.

I have never had any problems with nvidia drivers before, but 175.16 just did not work at all!! after install and reboot my machine became very unstable and blue screened on resume from sleep.

Re: Anybody else crashing with 175.16 install?

I wonder what's causing such a polarization in results...

I submitted a bug report or tech support claim to EVGA so they are aware there are problems, but they probably already know. I've never had any problems with EVGA stuff in the past. They are a good company.

Re: Anybody else crashing with 175.16 install?

Hi John and others following this thread,

I am currently using the 175.16 driver without any problems whatsoever. I upgraded to this driver from the previous 169.25 when I upgraded my graphics card from a 7600GT to an 8800GT. However, unlike previous graphics driver updates where I merely installed a fresh driver, I had to uninstall the previous version and revert back to the driver as supplied on the Vista installation disk before I could get it to install.

There could be a driver conflict. Try to uninstall all + Driver Cleaner Pro and do a fresh install of the latest WHQL drivers.

My Crystal Mark Scores improved with 175. They installed fast. I did uninstall 169 before and restarted. I would investigate a motherboard chipset conflict with Vista.
