So I built my new system and it was running FSX perfectly with just about everything maxed and very little tweaking. I thought I would install a few other games that my wife and I play together and crash after crash after crash. Within seconds the games would crash no matter what it was or how the settings were. It also made no differnce with the AA or AF settings. Every other program that I install would crash except FSX which I thought was strange.
I went through everything and no problems anywhere. So I started doing some researching and found a single thread on a forums from a motherboard company that wasn't even what I had bought. The problem it seems is a fault of BFG where the video cards were put on the market with the wrong overclocking. In other words all 285gtx cards that were factory overclocked seem to have a stability problem and were set to high. So I toned it down or underclocked it just a tiny bit and pow right back in business.
Just thought someone might like to know any of this in case they were looking at getting one of the cards. Other than that little problem it seems like a fantastic card.
