*** Video "black out loop" issue explored ***

It appears that my "Display driver not working..." troubles are over! :p

Here's what I did:

- Installed Vista Ultimate 32-bit.
- Did not install nForce chipset drivers.
- Did not install Realtek HD audio drivers.
- Did not install Forceware video drivers...yet.

- Then I installed Forceware 163.69 WHQL drivers.

In the end I did not install the nForce or HD audio drivers, but everything works and gaming is rock solid stable now :D
 
Weird... glad you got it working though :D

Well I have gone a month without said issues... ive had a couple random lockups and restarts but they were all while playing wow and watching videos (and after installing beta nvidia drivers to fix bioshock) so I think I am in the clear.

Installed my P5K Premium over the weekend and thus far I have not had any problems either... will try my Titanium Alpha's again once I am certain things are still in the clear.
 
Long story short. It was bad ram in combination with ATI tool.

ATI tool has come kind of conflict with the programs I was running with it or the Nvidia drivers. I had two sets of ram give the exact same symptoms with teh P5K and when I uninstalled ATI tool my problems went away.

In vista with my titanium alpha's I got random graphic driver crashes. after playing with them for a week they finally buckled and now error out like crazy in memtest. 3 other sets of ram with any of my hardware is now working perfectly fine...

Moral of the story... Never underestimate the problems bad ram can cause.
