Default Nvidia drivers
Hey guys, I'm wondering which drivers you're using in your folding rigs? I'm running the 185.85 drivers now and I am getting nvidia driver stopped working and recovered several times a day. I don't remember getting this with the 182.50 drivers.

Revert back to the 182.XX drivers. The 185.XX don't seem to be good for folding@home. Have you tried the latest release?

Had the same issue with my gtx 260's, switched back to the 182. I'm running a 8600 gt on the 185.85 and it doesn't seem to mind it though.

Just a little update. It was only my 260 that got the error. All the other cards that I ran with the 185 driver were fine. Maybe it's just a problem with the 260. It's a XFX 260BE.

I reverted back to the 182.50 drivers after trying out the 186.18. My PPD dropped by like 50 (could be caused by other stuff), and I noticed there was more lag with 2D programs.
