Sometimes when I am playing a game I will get a stutter and then it crashes to desktop with the message "your display drivers have stopped responding and have recovered." I checked around and a lot of other people are having similar problems, mainly this problem is with people who are using Vista. So, what I wanted to know is if anyone else is having this problem how do you solve it?

Look for a newer driver version for your card running under Vista.

Possible heat problem. Open the case and check to see if the graphics card fan is stopping and causing the failure.

Check the other fans while you are at it.

Of course opening the case could void your warranty.

It's not the fan. I have a glass side and can watch it spinning. What I was really asking is if anybody has a nvidia card have they experienced this too, or could it just be a Vista problem?
