Crashing NVIDIA WHQL Drivers
Hopefully not many of you will fall victim to this due to the new series 5 NVIDIA nForce motherboard product just now getting to market, but is something to be aware of. We have tested two nForce 570 SLI chipset motherboards here recently that do not take well to the latest v91.31 WHQL video card drivers when using the latest v9.16 WHQL chipset drivers from NVIDIA. In fact, using these v91.31 drivers with the nForce 570 resulted in crashed operating systems and corrupted hard drives. It seems that the problem may not stop there either. One source in Taiwan mentioned that the problem might extend to the Intel 955X chipset as well.

nVidia Forceware V91.31 has compatible problem with nForce 570 SLI and Intel 955X chipset. Please downgrade to nVidia Forceware V84.21 or try the latest V91.33beta

I think this is the reason why you shouldn't jump on the new hardware bandwagon, just wait a few months for the new stuff to fully mature. Strickly MHO

I am not having the problem...merely passing along info I felt was justified in passing along to all my BF2 friends.HARD OCP is one of the best hardware websites on the net...if they have to issue a warning as THIS...then it's really something to make others aware of.THe thing that disturbed me the most is that it creates a bigger problem by screwing up your O/S and also your hard drive(s).
I hope by posting this it makes anyone aware of the potential problem that can happen.

PEACE!!

Yeah, what is the gross national product of Denmark?

Nice find, I run an nVidia card on a 955 chipset myself.
