Hi all, I'm in desperation mode here... (Judging by the subject title of this forum, I'm probably not alone).

I have a new build w/ the following:

Mobo: Asus P6T Deluxe
CPU: Intel Core i7 940
Mem: G.Skill DDR3 6gig
Drive: WD Raptor 300
Video: EVGA GTX 260 Superclocked (216 Core)
Cooler: Thermalright Ultra 120 Black
PSU: Corsair 620w

I've successfully installed Vista 64 onto the computer and on a blank install, I couldn't be happier with the performance. The speeds are truly amazing. However, once I install the drivers for the EVGA card, upon reboot, I am getting BSOD. I've tried the wizard, I've tried manually, I've tried older driver versions... Nothing works!

Has anyone experienced this issue before? I'm sure a lot of folks out there are running similar rigs to mine successfully, but I'm in dire need of some guidance.

I've read about PSU issues, but the specs check out. I am only running only the single drive, and 2 dvd burners, with absolutely NO overclocking. What gives?!?!

Welcome to the Forums! :beer:

Dude, you're on the bleeding edge. Can you try a different PCI-e video card in there?
