Various tech sites have reported that Nvidia drivers are the main reason why the Windows Vista operating systems crashes.

The second place goes to Microsoft drivers followed by ATI which is another graphic card vendor. Intel is fourth on the list.

”Microsoft takes exhaustive steps in testing hardware compatibility internally, as well as by working directly with our partners, to address compatibility long before customers experience an issue. However, testing can only be conducted under so many different circumstances, particularly with such an exceptionally complex code that graphic drivers have,” stated by Microsoft representatives.

I have recently toyed with the idea of a reformat of my three year old machine. As part of the process, a friend suggested I upgrade from Xp to Vista.

I own a Nvidia card, articles like this make me think I will stick where I am for the time being.

thanks for the heads up.

I run an Nvidia 8800 and get Vista crashes 2-3 times per day. My power is far superior to yours PJ! Dont make comments like that when you yourself have no clue. Take a quick google search on “Vista crashes” and see just how extensive this issue is for people. Vista is a steaming pile of crap for most folks nowadays, but that is normal for a Microsoft product just over a year from release.
