Then I just installed the 186 version Ok, here's a little report: First time ever I used the nvidia uninstaller to remove the 195 drivers. Little did I know that it would remove the *chipset* drivers of my m2n-e sli mobo too 8-P At least that's what appeared to be the case after the reboot, the NIC would refuse to work and so on which is kinda bad because I had the old drivers on an smb based network share. After some fiddling with an sd card, a newer version of the chipset drivers and some reconfiguration of the nic I was ready to install v186 again, so far everything is looking good. rF appears to work fine, too, but as those texture crashes were few and far in between, only happened online on a single server and only running the BT52 mod at certain tracks (Kya 2005, Donington GP), I guess a final verdict will have to wait a little longer ;-) Passed on NFS shift to my son in the process too as the game won't work with that driver version... *shrug* Cheers Uwe |

NVidia has had an issue with chip bump designs and materials, and I've had a 7900GT and a 8800GT fail on me during the last 2.5 years. see: http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/...hips-defective -- Mika Takala |
