Re: Questions? Need help? Look here
I am seeing a lot of problems with AMD things... perhaps upgrading the flash BIOS could fix some issues (however, if you incorrectly flash your BIOS, you can really screw it up!, so be careful).
Your motherboard brand might be hard to figure out. Most big companies have their own motherBoards that you can update at their site. Otherwise, you are going to have to look up your mobo manufacturer and see what BIOS updates are there.
Edit:
Just realized not many might understand what I mean. The Flash BIOS is a chip on your motherboard that is the lowest of the low level things, and acts as the interface between all your computer components. You might have to update that. Your specific mobo manufacturer has details, look for your manual, or look right on the motherboard itself to see the brand.

I have the exact same problem. What sort of system are you running? Maybe there are some common threads between our two systems that may shed some light on the problem. Hopefully.

Re: Questions? Need help? Look here
Addendum to my earlier post: added system spec: motherboard is AOpen AK79D-400 with bios R1.04 (date is August 13th).
Don't know if that means anything.

Someone else was having trouble, then updated from the 44.03 drivers. Nvidia's current ones are 45.23. Of course, during the beta, I was using the 44.03 (before the 45's came out) just fine.
