Ok, so I'm having a problem with my videocard/driver. My computer keeps restarting when it's just sitting there/crunching seti data, and when it gets booted back up, I have a little window telling me that an unexpected shut down has occured, and that the error is possibly linked to my video driver. I had been running dets 23.12, and have gone back to 23.11, but am still getting the unexpected shut down...any idea's? Heard of this happening before? If it keeps up, I'll just do a fresh install on Saturday or Sunday, but I really don't feel like going and doing all that work if the problem can be fixed.

The uncertified NVidia detonator 23.11 drivers are EVIL.

Try reverting to the WHQL-certified drivers.

posts until my pack grows.

Try your card manufacturer's website. My GF3 Ti200 was made by VisionTek.

Try different drivers, or at worst, the drivers off Windows update.

Well, I left the machine on last night and it didn't crash...first time it didn't crash over night in almost a week...maybe that's a sign that everything's going to be ok...I did download the latest winxp systems update...maybe that had something to do with it.
