Follow these steps to solve the problem with a video device driver

You received this message because a device driver installed on your computer caused the Windows operating system to stop unexpectedly. This type of error is referred to as a "stop error." A stop error requires you to restart your computer.

Solution

There are two options you can use to try to fix the problem. If the first option doesn't work, then try the second.

Option 1: Install the most current device driver for your video card

* Go to the Microsoft Update website to see if there are any updated drivers for your video card. If there are any drivers listed, you should install them.
* If there are no updated drivers listed at Microsoft Update, and you know the manufacturer of the video card, contact the card manufacturer's product support service for assistance.
* If there are no updated drivers at Microsoft Update, you don't know the name of the manufacturer of the video card, and you need more help diagnosing and resolving this problem, contact your computer manufacturer's product support service.

Option 2: Manually decrease Hardware Acceleration for your video adapter

This procedure prevents the display device driver from programming the hardware incorrectly, but you might lose some display functionality and performance. Although you can increase the hardware acceleration settings higher than None to regain functionality and performance, these settings increase the chance that the issue will occur again. For maximum stability, leave hardware acceleration turned off.

1. Click Start, click Control Panel, and then double-click Display.
2. Click the Settings tab, and then click Advanced.
3. Click the Troubleshoot tab, move the Hardware Acceleration slider to None, and then clear the Enable Write Combining check box.
4. Click OK, and then click OK. Note: This procedure prevents the display driver from programming the hardware incorrectly, but you may lose some display functionality and performance.

You're sure they didnt just send you the same one back because they found nothing wrong with it?
 
They couldn't have. I did an advanced RMA. I send it back and give them a tracking 3 to prove i am and they send my new one before they get the old one.

Im not talking about the mail carrier returning it. Im talking about the company you sent it to, looked at it, thought it was fine, and then sent it back. Either way, it's unlikely.

Usually when it fails twice, it means something else is the problem.
 
Like a motherboard. You have installed windows again? and all the other precations? at least it isnt the videocard.
 
how could then send me the same one back if the old one got their on Monday and mine was sent out on Friday? I have tracking #'s to prove that, but it wont be necessary. What about that driver info I gave?
 
what type of 8800gts r u using,leadtec? msi? e.c.t i planned on getting s msi with my msi motherboard but tell me the manufacter of ur 8800gts
 
Interesting, something I was reading and just noticed is it seems to only be happening to people who have XMS2 ram. Including my friends pc. Perhaps you should look into that.
