Every time I install my video card drivers I get multiple BSODs. Does anyone know of a good nvidia/vista driver? I ran memtest no errors, ran a HD tests no errors, I checked all my bios settings for ram voltage, timings, and speed. I don't have any idea how to get this working consistently.

Any input would be greatly appreciated, ty.
 
I haven't had any problems with Vista x64 and nVidia drivers. Perhaps there is something wrong with the card?
 
what driver are you using? Right now im using 180.60 beta and having zero problems.. Make sure you use driver sweeper and also go into control panel/program and features then right click on the nvidia drivers and remove them also the same for the physix--- reboot and reinstall your drivers.. At least this way you know the dirver isnt conflicting with another driver... Im running vista64 ultimate/nvida 180.60/asus p5q-De bios m1406/gtx280 and like i said- no problems here..
 
Is this a new install of Vista? Upgrade from vista32 or XP? New video card? More details please.
 
is your cpu overclocked? if it is, have u tried backing that overclock down?

what are the specs of your rig? do you have all the correct power connectors going to the video card?

Try this,
Unistall the driver
Reboot
Run this program, http://www.ccleaner.com/ , run the cleaner, and scan the registry and clean it, keep scaning and cleaning the registry till it finds no more
Run this program http://www.guru3d.com/category/driversweeper/ , click nvidia display, then click clean
Reboot
Install the drivers
I know this is a PIA but I am sure it will work

Edit: Never run Regseeker in Vista X64, I did notice you had Vista X64 at first, I took that step out

Since I moved to Vista 64, I've had absolutely no problems. I actually have been keeping 177.92 Betas installed, because they've been rock solid and provide excellent performance, even in newer games, like Fallout 3. If you've been using the latest WHQL drivers, I suggest you install Beta ones and see how it goes.
 
Well oddly enough the after all the errors pointing to drivers it turned out to be the RAM timings. TY all for the help though, I just figured DDR2 1066 could run at DDR2 800 4-4-4-12 but I guess not. Weird thing is it passed memtest the first time I tested it but failed last night after I tested it again. I haven't had a BSOD for 24 hours hopefully this continues
