Thought I'd pose this problem before I got ahold of techsupport tommorow. I just got an xfx 6800gt to replace my r9700 pro. I uninstalled the 9700 the safe way (safemode driverclean) and installed 6800gt. Initially there were no problems. I played about 4 or 5 hours of Hl2 and WoW with no issue. I then shut the comp down to take a break. When I came back and turned comp on just before it would load windows my 2005fpw would say no signal, and I would get no signs of windows loading. I then went to safemode uninstalled driver and was able to get back in to windows, reinstall driver. Then after reboot it would do the same thing over again. So I tried just about every driver I could find, having the same problem. I tried changing the resolution and getting everything setup to what it should be after installing drivers before reboot, and as soon as I change the resolution to 1680x1050 I get a bsd saying a problem with nv4.dll. Anyone know what causes this? I would guess power, but it is weird when it occurs, and the fact I was able to play graphic heavy games for 4 hours before makes it even more suspicious.

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

have you tried beta drivers? you've done just about everything I would have done...you're right, that's a freaky problem...
 
Yeah, I have tried 66.93, 67.03 beta, and omegas and it fixes nothing. My powersupply is a 500w ultra xconnect, which I have read here is not all that it is cracked up too be, but it is 500w. I am able to install drivers, and it says everything is working, until I change anything (resolution, refresh etc.) then i get a bsod, also happens if I reboot after installing graphic driver. I would format if I thought that would fix the problem, but I can't see how that would change anything if I am going threw the process of cleaning the drivers out. I have a feeling this is gonna be an rma any way i look at it =/
 
Perhaps your psu is not feeding it enough voltage try a different psu.

Unfortunately I don't have another ps to test with at the moment. The 9700pro also require more power, but I have never had a problem with it, although I am sure that the 6800gt requires a bit more. Is there anyway to test what kind of power it is putting out?

Thanks,
