Last good driver from nVidia is 185.85 any driver beyond that gives me "blue screen" on my vista sp2 machine.

7950GT is what I'm using.

All the latest drivers make my 7600GT blank out for a few seconds every couple of minutes.

186.18 have been fine for us. Nice bumps in performance across much of the platform.

BFG 8800 GTX OC2
BFG 9800 GTX+ 512 MB
BFG 285 GTX OCX
BFG 295 GTX rev (A) and (B)

We've not fully tested 190.38 on all cards and across all configs.

*Fully remove all driver components and nvidia software and restart the computer, before installing any new driver version - never upate a GPU driver and or software over the top of an existing driver*

The nVidia installer will uninstall the previous version before installing the new one. ;)

#1 AGP card? I have the same problem with my AGP 7600GT and AGP 6200 cards, but not my PCIe GTS250 or PCIe 8400GS cards. I believe this was the last version that did not have the PhysX driver included as well.

#2 It shouldn't be there on a GeForce 7000 series product or earlier, but try disabling or even uninstalling the PhysX driver. Unless you have at least an 8800GT card it doesn't do much except hog your system resources.
