My computer was working fine. All vga and gpu drivers installed correctly, but while I was searching through files the error blue screen popped up. Any reason why that could have happened? Also, where do I get direct X 10? Thanks for all your help.

Should come with the drivers. You have a GT or GTS series NVIDIA?

Link to DX10, just in case. http://www.gamesforwindows.com/en-US/AboutGFW/Pages/DirectX10.aspx

Possible NVIDIA drivers not playing nice with your hardware.

you have a 4850 buddie, directx 10.1, no directx 10 for you!

download memtest and test for a few hours, if any errors pop up then post it here.

Oh, I failed to look at his sig!

Drivers are fairly new of the card, so I'd give it a little. Memtest is alright, might want to check idling temps for your card too. Might be a random defective card.

Right... I never thought about that. Maybe I should uninstall the nVidia physX drivers...b/c I have a new ATI card. Thnks 4 the link!

No problem man. Just remember, Google is your friend.

no need to download, vista and your cards drivers are all you need. but yeah, like ironed maidens said, check your cards temperatures, (i use a program called GPU-Z, works great) to make sure your card is not overheating.

One more thing guys. I need to inc. the gpu fan speed with riva tuner but don't know how. Sorry if I sound like a total noob. Thanks

open rivatuner, find where it says forceware detected, and click the little arrow on the side of that. then click the card icon that says 'system settings' and click the tab that says fan.
