after reading my butt off for the past 2 days have found a fix for a few problems for the G-force video cards running in SLI mode. it got to the point i could not play ANY game for even 5 minutes without my video cards putting lines and colors all over my screen. thought maybe heat issue or just the game.

come to find out Nvidia 180.xx drivers totally stink for the 9600 - 9800 series video cards running in SLI mode. they works great on a single card but not on SLI. Nvidia IS working on the problem for the next release of drivers for the month of April.

rolled my drivers BACK too 178.24 and all my problems are gone... IE: lines on screen , wierd colors during game play , games crashing back to desktop and even BSOD.

now where this worked for me it may not work for others seeing EVERY system is different, but it did work.....just passing it along.....feel free to add.
