Video Issues

I had an X1900XT. Things were going swimmingly until Thursday when it started crashing regurally when using 3D. Specifically Catalyst would come up with VPU Recover, then the 3D would become very corrupted.

Long story short, I sent this card back to MSI. I bought an 8800GTS from a local store today. I installed it and reinstalled Vista (it needed it anyway). It is now doing somewhat of the same thing, except the video driver will fail and then be reloaded, fail over and over, but sometimes it will keep working.

This is entered into the Event Viewer if it crashes:

Faulting application lotroclient.exe, version 8.3.30.62, time stamp 0x468b529e, faulting module nvd3dum.dll, version 7.15.11.5824, time stamp 0x463153ed, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x002a40e1, process id 0x794, application start time 0x01c7c691f4989af7.

I have a 700 watt thermaltake power supply, Asus P5n32-E SLI (680i), running OCZ Reaper HTC at 1066 with a Core2Duo e6300 not overclocked (although it was originally, I decided for testing purposes to un-overclock for the past few days).

Also, I found that by turning the fan from 50% to 100% duty cycle in RivaTuner and underclocking it a bit (it's factory overclocked) it is more stable.

Any idea what is going on?
 
Try underclocking your ram and see what happens. I had my ram die on me recently and the only symptom was instability in 3D games...
 
Sorry to dig up an older thread, but I have actually run into something VERY similar. The display blanks out and returns...happens over and over until finally it doesn't "come back" and I have to restart the system manually. I'm still trying to figure out if it could be the video card at all...because a friend has gone through the same issues as me with a pair of 8800GTS's and a 680i based board...he has had the same issues over 3 different mobo chipsets and tried multiple different video cards...only things common between our two systems is the Core 2 cpu architecture.

Just wondering if there had been any resolution to your personal issue bjackson.
