I have a GeForce FX5700 128mb eVGA and im usin the newest (53.03) drivers. Have had some problems in the past with installing games and such, but it kind of leveled out. Tried to install Black Hawk Down tonight, my machine restarted on me during the install. On the bootup, my screen looked like a crappy 2mb card that had gone on the fritz.
Restarted it and its fine. Windows Error Reporting showed me the path to a log for device debugging. This is what it said:
