Hi EveryoneI have reinstalled Windows 7 plus fsx and all my add ons recently however I am getting problems with my 285 GTX video card. I will be flying in fsx and all of a sudden a message appears the the video card driver has stopped working but has now recovered. I have never had this issue before, any ideas what it is likely to be. I innitially installed the 197.45 drivers but changed to 197.57 drivers to see if that solved the problem but it appears to be happening with that one too.Please see my system specs belowCheers Barra

I had the same problem. Check the temps and if you GPU fan is working properly.The driver crashed a lot here until I installed the MSI Afterburner and let this tool control the fan. Other reasons might be unstable or too much overclocked memory.Mine is relaitively stable now. Still crashes like every two weeks though.Alex

It very well just could be the drivers and how they interface with your system. What drivers were you using before you reinstalled Win7?I have Win7 Ult 64b and a GTX285. I was using 195.81 drivers and everything worked fine, heard a lot of good things about 197.25 drivers so I installed them and got the same thing you are seeing with 197.45 drivers.I went back to 195.81 and everything was fine. Upgraded recently to 197.45 and no problems. So if I was you I would try different drivers, 197.25, 197.13, 196.XX or 195.XX and see if you get better results from any of those.If you can not find any drivers that will work, then you may just need to do a clean Win7 install from scratch and reload everything.
