can you tell more detailed?
1) freeze occurs when you do something
2) is it enough to do nothing and watch monitor?

1.) Freez occures randomly.
2. ) yes, after first freez is enough to watch monitor and wait to freez...

for the sake of the experiment do next:

1) install patch and enable sli
2) wait for freeze
3) reboot and disable sli
4) wait for freeze
5) DONT UNINSTALL PATCH
6) reboot but in non-sli option
7) wait for something

tell what we'll you see

look what a pile of JUNK is left after 260.63 has been used (and another driver simply installed over it)... NVIDIA User Experience Driver Component ! LOL sounds serious ! :nutkick:

got few hours with 0.9a + 259.32, only good things to say about both SLI Patch and driver (after I wipe out 260.63 remains)

I must try.

I will uninstall SLI patch, uninstal drivers, boot in safe mod and delete rest with driver sweeper.

Should i then instal SLI patch first or drivers ?
