    Here happens the crash with 2 Flashvideos at the same time.

    And 10 Flashvideos are not a rare case, when you not filter and have advertises everywhere.

    try updating flash to 10+

    if you dont wanna update you can easy downgrade it to flash player 9 to fix the crashing again.

    here link to flash player 9 for those that already found out they have issues with crashing flash player and dont wanna downgrade drivers.

    Yes also i have the problem, when I tried 4 youtube videos 240/360/480/720p, i get Driver
    stop working.

    Strange never ever have had this problem before, but it's a Beta driver so it can happen,
    so long it won't happen with the WHQL driver that comes after this driver.


    With Geforce Win7 x64 257.21 WHQL i had this problem never.

    Definitely the smoothest of all 200series drivers to date...I'm having a lil performance boost, nothing to get girlz panties wet, but still.

    I didn't try much games, but still enough to keep'em for now...Can't wait to try'em with the major BFBC2 update tommorow....

    Just confirmed the drivers crash when watching multiple flash videos in Chrome. For me it took running 3 flash videos then I got a black screen and the "display driver has stopped working" message.

    On a good note they did fix the polling issue causing stuttering with the GTX200 series and performance seems to be good. i think I will stick with these drivers for now and just avoid opening multiple flash videos.

    whoever having this issue should try test this also in diferent browser it is't even browser related if tryit in IE asswell and same thing happends.
    so does't really matter what browser your running what does matter tough if you run flash 9 or 10.

    flash 9 does't have gpu acceleration so kindy obvious one.

    The game profile settings

    1. Install the drivers
    2. I create/change profiles for games
    3. Set AO [if said game supports]/AA/AF/SLI modes
    4. Hit apply driver kicks all settings back to global defaults
    5. Reselect game profile, everything is set global default
    6. select an option to change [such as AA] no drop down box appears with AA levels [2x, 4x, 8x, etc]
    7. this also happens with every other setting

    I've uninstalled/reinstalled all my nvidia drivers [chipset, physx, display] run driver cleaner.NET ccleaner and I always get the above result. meanwhile I've gone back to the 258.19's. I've done everything short of reformatting.

    I have 10.1 installed
    I found a fix (myself wow :D) for the flash crash problem without downgrading Flash.

    Just open any youtube video (or anything flash related); right click; select Settings; uncheck "Enable Hardware Acceleration".

    I already had it off so it worked fine for me. I tried it on and it crashed from 2 360p videos. Back off and I can play as many as I want. GL

    Ok but WHY? lol 3 480's? can you put a watt meter on your plug and report what it sucks up in a weeks time? I'm highly interested on the side of not only drivers helping your consumption but just it in general cause DAMN!!

    It's disabled by default. I've turned it on though and it's fine. No issues. Actually smooths the game out in small 50+ player DM servers when it gets busy.

    Maybe the browser is just unstable at that level of usage. Opera has that problem.

    why, if its stable with 197 or 198 driver.. even with 10 videos and yes with 10.1 flash.

    It doesn't matter, i just hope they fixed it soon..

    Hi, I recently started playing CoH-ToV, and when I get into the game, the screen starts to shake. But only at high resolutions, anyone know why? Is it a driver problem? I had 258.49, then changed to this driver, it's still there. When the game gets into window mode, it doesn't shake... other games are fine.. =/

    How do you fix?

    Thanks in advance!

    Try turning off the gpu acceleration like I said previously. I have a feeling it will work for you.
    open any youtube video (or anything flash related); right click; select Settings; uncheck "Enable Hardware Acceleration".
