fixed this problem on my laptop. it would only stop responding while using low GPU usage stuff like VLC media player. If you go to nvidia control panel (this only worked on my laptop) and go to manage 3d settings, global settings and power management mode, change it to prefer high performance. fixed everything. been runnin crash free for weeks.

My card: 9800gt 512mb ddr
Tried many things that fix the problem for others and found my solution too late

So start the nVidia control panel, go to “Manage 3D Settings”, then go to tab “Global Settings” and change “Multi-display/mixed-GPU acceleration” to “Single display performance mode”
Simple for me and no restart required. I tried to get back to “Multiple display performance mode” and again received the stupid “driver nvl….blabla

Just adding the the litany of other unhappy campers…playing bioshock on a ’state of the art’ LAp. Toshiba Qosmio with to die for graphics cards etc etc etc, but still no go here, i experience the same crash and burn black screen and error note as everyone else, i have triedall of the above, but will try to allow for additional venting to cool in the last (ditch) hope that it will work. My system is rated 5.9 and this…however, it is the only game to date i have expereinced difficulty with…so here’s hoping i suppose…ideas?

For me heat equaled the problem. Do whatever you can to reduce the heat and you should be much better off. I went as far to remove the side of my case, I now keep it off all the time, added a fan to blow right on both of my graphics cards and got it out from under the desk the issue is now fixed.

You might even have to lower the refresh rate from 75hz to 60hz.

Each time I did something to help reduce the heat on the card the problem happened less and less until it was gone.

I had the problem in XP x86 and Win 7 64bit. problem no more. Should you have to go that far NO!, but at least its working!

Ok I am going to take back my last comment,
I searched all these type’s of forums and did many of the “hotfix”
(except the basically tearing your pc apart).

I contacted the company I got my new 275gtx card from and there response was this…

“We are aware of this problem and it is ongoing,It is a graphic card problem that occurs in maybe 1 in 1000 cards,it is not only for the 275 card but for every card and every make,please send this card back to us and we will replace it”
I went back to my old 8800 card and no problems,waiting for my replacement.Do not go ripping your system apart,or even the hot fixes,Ask the company were you bought your card from,I would be very VERY surprised if a comapny agreed it was a graphic card and replaced it unless they had tested it and knew for sure that was the problem.

Everyone can blame microsoft for not taking in consideration for gamers and latest technology.

If you install dream scene in vista it will aggravate this issue, not only that but it will do that while looking at your desk top.

POORLY implemented technology!

To sum this up quickly ether wait for the fix or sell your computer and buy the latest gameing console wii,ps3 ect..

don’t forget to have a pos laptop to pay bills and blog about your experience with Microsoft.

This issue has to be hurting the hell out of the market in my opinion future sales will lack due to the negligence by the manufacturer to put pressure on MS to fix this!

Ok this problem has been going for a long long time and there is no 1 fix for all.

I for 1 have upgraded to a 275gtx card and have this problem,I have searched every known forum for a fix and followed everyone,uninstalling all drivers and re-installing,deleting certain “upgrade’s” to Vista,running driver sweep after deleting driver’s,even running game’s in Vista under XP compatabile.

Nothing works,I don’t have it as bad as some but I can get 3 or 4 every 10 mins at the worse time’s.
To be honest this happening even 1 time per hour(the normal for me)is not right,over 2 years and no proper fix,GET THIS SORTED.
People like myself that spend thousands on there set ups should not have to spend hours and hours in forums trying to get there system to work as it should.

A damn disgrace.

I ran my q6600 for two years now, and suddenly out of nowhere i get stuck with this error, might have been my pverious gfx gts8800 which warranty just ran out and right after it did, i started to get this error, and even couldnt stabilize my windows anymore on desktop. First was games then whole shit. Got a new 250gts which ran like 1 day perfect and now already gotten like last 3-4 days a few times, today already 3 times alone. Overheating cannot be problem , not seeing over 60 numbers. In my case it might be power , though have 550W. But I noticed that I had a crash and might have some bad sectors on HD, don’t know if thats gotta do anything with it. So sad atm :/

Well, I posted months ago, but… mine has stopped giving me this error. I’m not sure if it’s because I stopped playing the game it was giving me it on, or maybe because I’ve installed numerous updates since then. I know it’s not much help. But any other game I play it’s not done it since. Knock on wood.
