I'm sure all of us here at one point or another have had those pesky nvidia drivers crash on us one time or another. (unless you have an ATI card)

This is my experience with the problem:
I downloaded the Xtream-G 84.20.v2's. After getting them installed, I went and put in my overclock into coolbits.
Loaded up Morrowind and started to play a bit (with 8xS/16xAF/TRSSAA/Gamma AA so all the eyecandy turned up max). In a couple of minutes the drivers went caput and the system crashed.

I then tried something else. When I got my computer rebooted I got rid of my overclock in coolbits (by setting the clocks to stock speeds) and then loaded up morrowind again. No crashes this time.

So now I ask you this. Was it a result of coolbits that the nvidia driver crashed (for me)? Any one else find this?

Did you test the OC before playing a game? Have you tried playing at stock speeds?
