Recently I've been getting is error message in 3dmark 06 and 3dmark 06 quits on me. The message says: IDirect3dVertexBuffer9::Unlock failed:An invalid parameter was passed to the returning function (E_INVALIDARG). I also recently upgraded on an i7 2600k, 16GB RAM, and an Intel DP67BG motherboard. My video card is a GTX 580.

I though it was a memory problem at first because it happened with new memory I recently bought and memtest froze on me when I tried to exit memtest after 9 hours, so I exchanged the memory for a different brand and that same error message still happened in 3dmark 06. This is the 2nd time I got that error message.

I'm using the version 275.33 Nvidia drivers. Nothing is overclocked and temperatures of my CPU and video card seem fine during benchmarking.
