Since a few days I’m a proud owner of an EVGA Geforce 8800 GTX. All went well for a while till suddenly all shit happened.

Started out with a BSoD in World of WarCraft, ever since all shit hits the fan. Everytime I boot up windows, it starts to hang after 5 minutes and I get nifty pink/purple dots and stripes everywhere. Even when I’m just idle the shit happens.

So been searching on the EVGA forums, Nvidia forums, tweakers.net, WoW forums and it seems a lot of people have the same problem. Not a little bit but shitloads of people.

People try all things, from driver changes to Beta to even RMA their cards. -_-‘

I myself tried everything yet, checked my temp, checked if I had enough Watts (got 530), checked if I should change the drivers, checked my DX, checked if it still happens when I have other expansion cards installed, checked my mobo bios, checked my mobo drivers, checked if my other video cards have the same problem, checked if it was my memory. Anyway, kind of checked everything but couldn’t find a solution

How ever, when I de-install the drivers and boot up windows. It won’t crash at all, how ever I’m not able to play games then. The same counts for Windows safe mode.

Anyway, I URGE nvidia to fix these drivers, because latterly thousands of people suffer from the same. Especially since people pay a phat bill of 500 euros for their GTX.

Ill try 1 RMA, if that doesn’t work. Ill ask for a refund and wait for ATi R600 to come out.

Rant over.
