I installed the new 314.07 drivers yesterday. I heard some weird whistle or high-pitched screaming coming from my computer but didn't think anything of it.

I took a flight last night and in the middle of the flight I was rebooted. During the flight I have headphones on but could still hear the whining/screaming/whistle thingy.

I think these drivers were overloading something in my 570GTX. I reverted back to 310.90 and the sound is gone and so far no crashes. Anyone else try these drivers?

Been using .07 for a few weeks with no problems. Tried the beta 314.14 and found 07 to be more stable.

I'm currently using 314.14 and have found them to be exceptionally smooth with regards to clouds and AA.

Just downloaded and am using the latest drivers with a US-bought Gigabyte GTX560 Ti but it is giving me some weird glitches with a Dell U2412M monitor in that all of a sudden I'll get a screen freezing with little opaque squares splattered all over the screen. It then unfreezes after about 40 seconds and am back to normal. Strange.

Strange, i've never had the slightest problem when updating my GTX-570 drivers, except for keeping a eye on the FSX NvidiaInspector settings of course, that are usually changed a bit after an update.

Using these drivers on my own 570 with absolutely no issues.

.. My EVGA 560TI doesn't take anything higher then the 306.x, anything higher crashes FSX ..... weird, ha !

Surprisingly I also heard this "whistle" from my videocard today. Or it was more like a high pitched buzz or whatever.

That's normally a choke/coil/transformer that can cause that kind of noise. Hardware

Well I suspect either my GPU or PSU has gone south. I did some stress testing today and a combination of Prime95 and Kombuster will cause my PC to shut down about a minute after the "whistle" starts. I am leaning toward the PSU as the issue but still not sure. I took the driver back to 306.97 and the problem remains.

 

I swear this did not happen until the 314.07s. I'm racking my brain to figure this out!

 

Is it even remotely possible that the 314 drivers changed something in the card that rolling back drivers won't undo?

They are working fine on a GTX285 1GB card.  I have been running with them since it became available.  No issues to report. I did do a clean install, though. I do this each and every update.

I will go back to the 314.xx today. Downloaded the beta driver this morning.

 

The issue turned out to be the PSU. I had a Corsair 750W PSU I bought about 6 months ago. I swapped it out with a Tagan 700W modular supply from my living room PC (which is doing just fine with the Corsair since it is not used for gaming, just videos).
