Windows 7 64bit ?

[coldmeat]

Ever since switching to Windows 7 64 bit, windows keeps complaining about video hardware error saying "a problem with your video hardware caused windows to stop working correctly". This is just in the Action Center/PC issues. I think it is related to the random black screen I get while playing games every once in a while. It only lasts a second and hasn't really been a big enough issue for me to look too far into it. I have all the latest drivers.

Heat/driver issue probably but you should check into that just in case.

I originally thought it was a heat issue, and it turned out that that did solve a lot of problems I was having

Ever since then, I've had reasonable temperatures while playing. My card could just be dying, I don't know. Strange that it would only start to happen right after switching OS.

Do not go 32bit at this point in time, extremely short sighted and you are dead ending yourself.
