    BSOD from NVIDIA drivers?

    I didn't have the CPU, RAM or vid cards overclocked or voltages tweaked or anything like that. However, I did go back and reset the BIOS to defaults and everything seemed to work last night. Installed network stuff and video drivers and everything ran fine all last night. Today I fired it up...

    BSOD from NVIDIA drivers?

    New Desktop

    Currently I've got a 19" LCD (1680x1050). However, I'm putting the finishing touches on my theater room so I may well wind up hooking this up to my 1080p PJ to play on the 120" screen.
