I installed 5.10 to get the GART driver.
Then installed the 6.39 driver (will try 6.66, but the versions seem the same).

Now when I try to disable the nVidia adapter within XP (Network Connections page), I get a quick BSOD flash and then a reboot.
Anyone else have thise problem?

I don't really want to disable it, just that when I do need to disconnect from the network, it's lot faster than reaching back to unplug the cable.

Also, does MBM support this board for CPU/MB temp detection?
I don't trust MSI Core Center, cause it was showing my CPU temp to be 30C idle while the sys temp was 35C.

I've never had that problem before. I'm using the 6.66 driver, so that might have something to do with it ;) . I suggest switching drivers, and see if that helps.

For temp monitoring, I use EVEREST Ultimate Edition. It has been the most accurate of anything that I've tried, as I did some ACTUAL readings with a temp probe to see what my CPU was really running at, and EVEREST came the closest (1-2c higher than actual readings).

I tried switching over to the 6.66 drivers.
Same problem.
The nVidia network controller will crash when I try to disable it (also crashes if I try to un-install the nVidia drivers, since I believe it tries to disable it).
Realtek controller works without a problem.

Switched back to the driver in 5.10 and it works fine.
Oh well.

I'll probably switch over to a non nVidia chipset as soon as a good one is available.
Seems they are going the way all companies go when they get big... drop support for older products ASAP.
