I noticed quite a few people here with 8800GTX (or other PCI-E 1.1 cards). I'm having a very weird problem.
So far it seems like playing a HD 720p or 1080p x274 video in VLC Media Player is a better and quicker stability test then Prime95 on 4 cores...
At 8x480Mhz FSB i can run prime95 for a long time, but when i start a HD video i pretty much always have a BSOD within a couple of seconds or sometimes a couple of minutes. I have to increase the Vnb a lot to get rid of this problem at 475Mhz FSB (1.75v) while prime95 is stable at much lower voltages.
I was wondering if anybody else noticed this and if so if they have fix for it. Or if not, what MB BIOS and VGA driver are you using. So far i have tested under Vista x86 SP1 and XP x64 SP2 and there is no difference. I have also tested at stock speeds for my 8800GTX and with different 8800GTX BIOS version and even a modded 8800Ultra BIOS.
