I was having a black screen and then the nvidia drivers would recover. note that this problem has been going on with the previous drivers also but with no bsod. I just installed the new beta drivers and this is what i'm getting:
BTW I had a lock up 1st before the BSOD. After the lock up it followed with a black screen then no signal, then the BSOD.
It only happens while gaming in mmo's
from what i can tell so far.
