I have had my BFG 6800 GT for about 2 months and have had no problems with it. But last night when I turned my system on it loaded windows and then right after the windows loading icon goes away I get a BSOD for around one second and then my sytem will reboot. I thought it might be something with my memory I ran memtest all night with no errors. Then I swaped out my graphics card and put my old 5200 in my system and it worked fine. I put my GT in another computer and it worked fine. I put it back in my main computer and I had the same problem. It has never been overclocked or had any mods done on it.

The rest of my sytem is
A64 3000+ @2.29 ghz
Corsair Value Select PC3200
MSI K8T Neo FSR
Windows XP Professional
BFG 6800 GT OC
420w PSU
Could I have messed something up by overclocking. Thats what I originally thought but then when it booted up fine in another commputer I'm not sure

Has anybody had this problem or know how to fix it.

oh, it loads windows then boots...sorry, missed that
i wouldn't think twice before formatting my hard drives to fix this (after a bit of research along with trail and error of course), but of course people have important files, etc.
i say format, but thats just my opinion...heh

Instead of formatting you could use DriverCleaner and completely remove the drivers then reinstall. I guess this is a good time to ask if you still see this issue in Safe Mode?
