I've had an 8500GT in my HTPC forever, but lately have been getting an error "Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and was recovered". Last night, it happened about 10 times in a one hour recorded TV show. Everytime this happens, the screen goes blank for a second. It is very distracting and annoying. The wife was not pleased
.
I have an ATI HD 2600 Pro that I was thinking of testing in place of the 8500GT. Any thoughts? It's an older card, but it is the best one that I have. I'm worried it may be a little too old and slow. I don't want to spring the $50 for a 5450 without some guarantee that my problem would be solved.
HTPC is with Windows 7, 32 bit, Media Center, ATSC recorded TV.
Thanks, Stan
