Hello, how's everyone doing? It's been quite a long time since I was here, hope everyone is doing well. I've been busy with work and studies. :/ Anyway, lets get to the main problem.
I installed Winows 7 x64Bit on my pc last night, and I love it. It's way better than Vista and faster than XP. But THIS is the only problem with it. Anyone knows how to solve it? Your help is much appreciated. <3

How much RAM do you have?
The nVidia driver 64bit has issues with more then 6GB of RAM

Switch back to driver set 182.50 and all will be cured. Nvidia's 185/190+ drivers are buggy as hell. Use Driver Sweeper 2 to FULLY remove all traces of previous driver, before installing again.

Really? I have W7 x64, 190.xx drivers and 8 gig of ram with no problems at all. Can you link to where you found this info? It's be super handy. I'd hate for my PC to go poop if I'm in the middle of a kill streak in COD4

I've tested it myself... when I have my available 8G enabled, nVidia crashes, now, at 6GB, no issues...
I'll search a bit for where I pasted the testing data. It's somewhere on the nVidia forums...

Is it me or does nvidia seem to be a bit slow on the W7 driver thing?

Not that they are slow Dave, but more the fact that they have been putting out awful driver sets recently, introducing more bugs than they fix. The Win7 sets are terrible.

I got my fiorst ever crash on W7 last night due in no small part to the 190 drivers. Gonna revert back to the ones Scarra mentioned.
