3dmark06 crashes?

[hans030390]

For some reason, while i'm running the main tests (not the extras) it will crash and give that error report thing.

Anyone know what's causing it? possible video card problems?

It doesn't like SM 3.0

Perhaps your OCed 6600GT isn't as stable as you thought.

Try dropping the OC down & see what happens...

I noticed that when I first installed it, I got some error, and after redownloading it, I didn't get an error upon installation.

I put my card at stock settings, and it ran the first test, and then crashed.

I dont understand, as it went through it fine on my first run (10x7 though, but I was OCed).

My cp would just quit for no reason on 3dmark 05, then I put my x800xl back to stock speeds and it works fine. I think it was getting to hot but I really don't know why.

My card crashes at stock speeds, and that was at like 52 degrees celcius. I doubt its either of the two causing the problem.

Could it be a driver related issue? I have the newest ones from Nvidia (81.98 i think, they're the XG drivers though)...

Apparently other people have this problem where it crashes right after the first test...mostly with 6600gts...It seems that other people can run the cards in 10x7, but not 12x10.

Of course, this isn't with every 6600gt, but it seems like thats the most troubled card currently.

Any suggestions now?

Edit: nevermind, apparently there is an official issue with 3dmark 06, and a patch will come soon.
