Hi there experts, I'm having a problem with my NVIDIA 8600GT. I am running Windows Vista 64-bit, and pretty randomly, my entire screen begins looking like a winter scene with the amount of fuzzy static moving around (I hope you like the analogy). Also, during resource intensive, 3D games, my "dream machine" will slow to a halt, start distorting the images, and completely mess with the colors (nice looking water becomes a flat green square while the land colors invert sometimes, etc...). During these.... color attacks, it will also lag horribly and has blue screened on me twice, each mentioning "nvlddmkm.sys", which, from Google'ing, seems to be a popular problem people had before SP1, which I have installed.
I have tried several versions of drivers, fully and properly uninstalling each before attempting the next (and all files it has installed, including the dll's in System32), and I have not noticed much of a difference between drivers. Although some seem to blue screen quicker, while others like to use their magical color attacks, and then crash, they all generally do the same thing.
All answers and feedback would be very appreciated.
