Ok, so I recently installed a pny geforce 6800 ultra in my computer (Athlon 2 ghz+, Asus A7n8x mobo, 512 mb ddr, 60 gb harddrive, antec 500 watt power supply). Now whenever I play HL2, or anything else, I get a BSOD with the message 'Kernel Stack fault' or some such thing after a short period of time. I am familiar with the Infinite loop problems with these cards, but this does not seem to be that error. I tried disabling all the recommended settings in the bios, soft clocking the card back to 300 mhz, setting the fan to always on, etc. No other pci cards are present in my computer. I should also mention this is a fresh installation of xp sp2, and prior to the pny install, my msi geforce 4 ti-4800 worked perfectly, so obviously this issue is related to the card. Someone please offer a suggestion - I am leaning toward either my unaccelerated onboard sound as the culprit, or perhaps low voltage for the card. I ALSO should add that the card idles @ 65-67 degrees celsius at all times, even with multiple fans blowing directly on it.
