191.07 + W7 64-bit = "driver stopped responding" all the time

I've had this issue pop up a few times, and it's always turned out to be related to faulty RAM. Try messing with different memory configs (switch sticks around, take one out, etc.) and see if it helps. I know it seems strange, but new RAM completely solved this issue for me.

Ram Issues with 8GB and Asus

You likely have to bump up the vdimm and northbridge voltage to get all 4 sticks stable, or possibly even to have the system POST. I'd recommend raising both about 0.1-0.2v.

I think I got lucky on my 1.25 VID Q6600. I run 24/7 stable at 3.6 ghz currently with the vcore at 1.4, and I can get 3.825 ghz 3dmark stable at 1.45v, and I can get into windows and idle with no crashes at 3.915 ghz with 1.5v. Temps at 1.45v and above start to hit the high 60's at load, so I...

Having trouble finding information on DDR2, MCH, and FSB voltage.

Around 1.5V is a pretty high, but healthy setting for the NB on most boards. The max I'd run DDR2 with no special cooling at is 2.2V. And I'm not sure on the FSB voltage, but overvolting it .1 volts shouldn't cause any damage.

Your highest Dual/Quad Core System vista 64 3dmark06 scores, post them here.

It's 1:1, FSB @ 450, RAM @ 900. Q6600 is coming in the mail some time this week, so I should see a well improved score.

DOES 8800 GTX fit in an Antec 900 with P5K-E ????

I don't have personal experience with the case, but considering it's close to the most popular case on the market, something like the 8800GTX not fitting probably would have caused a stir by now. I'm 99% sure it will fit just fine.

90% of the time problems like this are related to the RAM. I'd try booting with each individual stick and see if that's the problem.

e6600 overclock/cooling results

I'm getting very similar temps to those with my E6600 and Tuniq Tower. I've always wondered if they're accurate or if I need to add 15*. Either way, they're nothing to be concerned with. And by the way, the VF900 won't work with an 8800gtx, you'll have to get the new VF1000 for that.

You need to update your chipset drivers. Go to your motherboard manufacturer's website and try to find Vista-compatible drivers.
