Installed it last night before i went to work.

3d Vision, what a crock of shit.....bought a Acer 120hz 3d monitor last week plus the Nvidia glasses, My glossy screen Acer blew it out of the water looks wise with it's vibrant colours etc, I then proceeded to play black ops which tbh i couldnt hit shit, it's not 3d it's more like depth tv and after 5 minutes i nearly threw up, sent the whole lot back hence why i now want a 27" Hazro.

[Ya Mother]

BFBC2 now crashes to desktop?

[Lloyd_mcse]

Yeah? I haven't installed them on my GTX 580 yet, just my 8800GTS (no crash).
I'm about to install Windows on the CM-690 II #2 - GTX 570, so I will try that too.

[Lloyd_mcse]

Outcasst, have you tried these yet?

[Outcasst]

Yeah, no noticeably differences for me apart from SLI working a bit better in Dragon Age II.

[Lloyd_mcse]

Oh ok, I had a quick game of BC2 earlier using these driver on my GTX 570 no problems.
Mother,what does your event log say?

[Lloyd_mcse]

Are you still having issues with these drivers, Mother?

[Ya Mother]

I rolled back to 275 and bfbc2 plays sweet now.

Cool mate
You're not getting any crashing with these ones then?

[Ya Mother]

Crashing!!!!!......it fooked my pc m8.....i had to do a system restore as my msn didnt work then after that i couldnt access the web, then the fooker made microsoft recognise my w7 as (cough) then to top the fooker off i couldnt even get on my pc for BSOD at every start up, so had to reformat and lost loads of shit including family photos games and game profiles Dreamscene etc etc.....it's took me nearly 2 days to get back to sort of normal....then i go and re install w7 and it then downloads the fooking update you told me about and then i get loads of messages etc........what a fook on i have had lol.....but saying that i have re installed it again and it seems ok.....i am having random crashing on BF3 but so is everyone else.

[Lloyd_mcse]

OMG how bizarre
Could you not plug the hard drive in another machine and copy your data over? If you weren't booting from the corrupt OS you should be able to grab all your data. A bit late now I know.
You should do a chkdsk and make sure it's all ok too. Because it sounds odd that a driver install would lunch it like that.

Battlefield...crashing...noooo....I don't believe you lol
