I'm having stability issues with the Cat 5.8 drivers in GTR, Juiced, FEAR demo & UT2003, CS:Condition Zero (the only games installed on that rig) at some random time, anywhere from when the game play starts to 30 min into a game, I've never had a crash after about 30 min if gaming (just luck?), the screen goes blank, the display still detects a VGA signal, it's just black, and the last ~1/2 second of sound gets in a loop. I've been using 5.4 for a long time & 5.6 seem to be fine, only 5.8 (I've installed them 3 times now, each time a fresh download) seems to give this problem. No matter how many times I've run 3DMark05 & 03 and the demos I've never had a crash, though the CPU temp alarm does go mad when running 05 for the GPU tests (though not for the CPU only test & the machine never shuts down, set at 75C)
System specs are
Cheiftec Dragon midi-tower (old 5x 80mm fan style)
Antec NeoPower
Abit AN8 (latest BIOS from Abit)
Athlon64 3800+ (NewCastle)
HIS X800XL (with noisy but work Arctic Cooling)
1GB PC3200 (normal Crucial)
LGE GSA4381B (I think)
74GB Raptor
200GB (SpinPoint or Maxtor)
The chassis has a full compliment of fans but all are running off the mobo headers (via current booster/amp circuit) temps are always warm but never hot (50C tops for CPU & GPU as set up now).
EDIT: I'm not using Cool n' Quiet & the nForce drivers a 6.66
