If continues to happen Idiot named Chile, memory, video card and cpu all suspects. CPU being the least likely IMO.

I always uninstall the old driver first in programs a features and completely uninstall EVERYTHING including chipset driver software that will come with the new driver. Reboot and do an install. I have found that if you just try to update it causes problems. (Note: download new driver to the desktop first...) Awards

But after I went back to what I had, seems a lot better. Had to lower some of the textures after even COD2 (which normally is very stable game) locked up between every map load. NOw does not lock up any longer. Recommend if you update driver to say NO to letting COD optimize for you - keep setting you had if all was good prior. Awards

I have Nvidia control panel, but the controller in it doesn't seem to work, you can manually change the speed, but it stays where you put it. I set up a curve, but it won't follow it. It runs fairly cool and quiet at 30% being about 53 to 55C or 125 to 130F. I want it to run lower temp at idle, and keep it under 140F in game. It used to do this before I added my second monitor, but I got so used to it now that I don't want to take it off. The second monitor makes it run at full speed all the time is why it jumped in temp. Before it was around 90F idle, and 115F in game. So anyway, back to my original question, rivatuner, or afterburner, or what? I got a GTX560ti 1gb.
