Hey all,
I was wondering if my issue is isolated or if others can reproduce it. Please be aware that if you do reproduce it, it could very well result in a BSOD/hard reboot for your computer, so of course I want to warn you in advance - don't do it if you don't want to risk it - lol.
With the newest 64-bit drivers (181.20, as well as the last iteration of the 181's) on my GeForce GTX 280 (eVGA FTW edition), if I start the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Reader 9 with the 2D GPU Acceleration feature enabled (Edit -> Preferences -> Page Display Tab), and I start more than one instance (ie. open 2 different PDF's), the second appears in a black window (document not visible) and eventually (several seconds later) results in a BSOD related to the nVidia drivers. (Note if I close the "black" window before the BSOD occurs, I can avoid the BSOD altogether...it's only if I leave it onscreen long enough - I've also experienced the "driver has stopped responding but has recovered" message instead of BSOD once).
Disabling 2D GPU acceleration in Adobe Reader resolves the issue, and I haven't had crashes in games, etc., using these drivers. In addition, 2D GPU acceleration works fine in the 178 drivers - no crashes whatsoever in them.
Sort of a weird issue, so I'm wondering if others have or do run into this. Thanks all.
