Anybody running Nvidia graphics card on the beta?
« on: January 13, 2009, 12:06:57 PM »
I am having an issue with the screen going black for a millisecond, and an error message popping up that says "the Nvidia graphics driver became unstable but is working now", or something to that effect.  It does it every 35 to 45 minutes during use; not idle.  I have the latest driver, but it was one that Windows Update flashed for me not long after I installed the beta, and it did say it was a pre beta as well.

For now I am going back to the driver I am currently using on Vista to see if that corrects the issue.

Anybody else having this problem with the beta?

Which graphics card?
nVidia says to use the Windows Update one and I am planning on putting Windows 7 Beta on my main system here in a few.
So, we will see. :)

Geforce 8800GT 512MB  I have had the Vista driver back on the Windows 7 side for a little bit now with no issues.  I am going to assume it was the driver.

Well, I have the same card and currently using the Windows Update driver. However, the system has not been up and running continuously, yet, 'cause I had to install X-Fi drivers. World of Warcraft is up and running right now and working fine (for about 5 min lol), so if it takes a dump in 30-45 min or so, I will be sure to report. :)

Yeah, do report back, because if you don't have any issues with it after awhile, then I need to delve deeper to see what the issue could also be related to...
