    Have they fixed the system lockup issues with the beta?

    Yeah, 320 betas gave me bsod's. I don't think any other driver has ever done that to me. I think I'll sit this one out and watch.

    10 minutes in I got my first freeze/full system lockup, just like with 320.14 which froze up 3 times during Metro, surfing the web and idling on the desktop.

    Back to 314.22 (again)

    I was getting some strange hang ups with the first two 320 betas I tried, but nothing since.

    What bugcheck code do you guys get with BSOD?

    I forget rewt, one mentioned a driver specifically trying to access a memory space in use or something like that. The other I didn't bother looking up, chalked it up to the same issue since i reverted drivers and no bsods.

    For me there was never a BSOD, just a complete lockup.
    After a reboot there's usually a nvlddmkm error in the event log (event 14?).

    Windows seems to unsuccessfully try to reset the driver and the fan spins up to 100% when I wait like 30secs.

    Okay thanks. If you're interesting in finding the actual bugcheck code/message, you could probably inspect your Windows minidumps if they exist.

    I just remembered that I converted my USB mouse over to serial trying to avoid that system hang. I wonder if this is why I no longer have a problem.. lol

    So far everything seems to be working fine on W8 Pro 64 bit.

    If anyone is interested:

    i had same problem with 320 drivers, and fixed those BSODs by raising system RAM voltage +0.1v . So seems like this driver sets stressing systems more than previous drivers. For my system i was getting this BSOD always with 320 series ,
    0x00000109 = Not enough or too Much memory voltage

    I see in the detailed change log they fixed the 999MHz limit overclock on fermi cards. Good to hear cause I have a GTX 550ti that I want to overclock on a oldish system for my friends to play when they come over.

    well I see the the last windows update the updating drivers process now as shorter delays with the black screens in windows 8.


    edit: what the f**k is this sh*t. I hit clean install and let it install everything. I didnt know it would install the geforce experience app....bleh...

    no thankyou. rather use my experience.

    According to Microsoft, bug check 0x109 is CRITICAL_STRUCTURE_CORRUPTION

    Your solution sounds reasonable, cause number three states:

    "3. A hardware corruption occurred. For example, the kernel code or data could have been stored in memory that failed."

    Release notes are useless, they are for 320 series vs 314.22. Nvidia has a habit of repeating same release notes vs older series drivers. What are the differences vs 320.14?

    Yeah... I surely won't overvoltage my otherwise stable RAM just because a new driver f*cks up.
    Besides - I don't think that's the true culprit here.

    I saw two new changes mentioned in the release notes. In reality there may be more than that, since NVIDIA doesn't typically list everything they do.

    [Fermi-class GPUs]: The maximum GPU clock is limited to 999MHz when
    overclocked. [1282233]

    [X-Plane 10]: The game hangs while loading. [1279387]

    It might be, if you got the same bug check code. Otherwise you're probably right.
