Hi
Cant seem to find a thread on here for this so am i the only one thats getting the following problem

I have a problem with the screen going black, switching briefly to the desktop with an error saying Nvidia geforce has crashed then going back to the game all fine again, a short while later it does the same thing again, this tends to happen mostly when new models come into the screen or certain effects play which is a nuisance as it often happens during a battle, then by the time it switches back on i am either dead, dying or nearly dying.

this problem however is not predictable as some times i can spend hours on the game and this does not happen, but suddenly it start happening with no real trigger so recreating the problem is almost impossible.

this is the only game i own that this problem occurs in there are other games i play with significantly better quality graphics etc and this does not happen on them. so it leads me to believe the problem is in this game, does anyone have a solution or at least knows why this is happening any help would be appreciated.

my specs are:

AMD 8X Processor
16GB Corair Ram
Geforce GTX660 SC 4GB (Factory settings no additional overclock)
XFX Black 500W Power supply
Windows 7 ultimate

347.09 seems to be the current driver version for Nvidia cards.

Are you running this version?

The issue you are describing is known as Timeout Detection and Recovery (TDR) and is a graphics driver issue.

I have never experienced this but I know a lot of people have.
