64-bit vista nvidia drivers - randomly freezing?

[Mellman]

Just installed 64 bit vista last night, have an Nvidia 7900GTO - Installed the 64 bit vista drivers, and twice now my screen has gone blank - and then come back and Vista tells me "your video card driver has stopped responding temporarily, we were able to recover"

It never did this in 32bit XP...so just curious if anyone else has had these problems.

that'd be a negatory - gotta link? A buddy of mine has been using the same card on vista for months and didn't mention this issue (64bit)

Which driver version: 100.65 (WHQL) or 101.41 (beta)?

People have reported crashing/artifacting problems with the 101.41's. If you're running them I would highly recommend switching to the stabler WHQL drivers (100.65). On the other hand, if the WHQL drivers are giving you problems, I would recommend downloading the beta drivers to see if your problem has been fixed.
