The thread in question at NVidia Forums: http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=187401
A good friend and colleague of mine built a new system a few months ago, with an Asus mainboard and Zotac GTX580. Shortly after setting up Windows 7 he began to experience major graphical glitches with the GPU, then it started locking up the system until eventually the system wouldn't POST any more. He then got an Asus GTX580 replacement, which worked fine, until yesterday.
He now gets constant driver crashes (driver recovery kicks in), without any clear cause, as messing with drivers versions, system RAM timings and everything seems to have nearly random effects, with the system appearing stable until the driver starts crashing again without apparent cause.
The above thread is what he found while researching his issue. My question is whether anyone else is experiencing something like this, and whether anything more is known about solving it? The main question probably is whether it's a software, hardware or combined issue. If it's related to the power states of the GPUs (as apparently confirmed by Gigabyte), then it could be a messy thing to fix...
