No problem here since I've done my OC and FAN controls thru the bios/firmware.

I never like the idea of OC'ing thru application. Would you OC ur CPU thru app? Same goes with the GPU. It would eliminate driver issues.

NVidia are recommending rolling back to 196.21

However, 196.21 has a bug that stops GPU overclocking. If you overclock the GPU, I suggest you roll back to 196.34, the latter whilst formally a beta, only has the O/C bug fix as the difference between 196.21 and 196.34.

Regards
Zy

Not if you do your OC thru the bios/firmware.

NVidia released 197.13 Beta today, which alledges to fix the fan issue.

Guru3d are also carrying the driver if problems getting it from NVidia.

Zydor, get yourself a graphics card, then worry about the driver!
