Well, I'm back. Thought that I fixed my problem by evening up the 2D/3D voltages, but I was wrong. I have a 530W Fortron PSU and the rails are stable as h3ll. I tried using the card in my other rig that's running the Zalman 400W PSU, but the same thing happens. I get the infinite loop, ro crash to blue screen courtesy of my NV Display driver.
There is an obvious problem here, whether nVidia or your respective card manufacturers want to admit it. Rest assured, they are aware of it. No one can acknowledge it for fear of the reprocutions of such a fault. There would have to be recalls, replacements, or worse (in their eyes) lawsuits.
However, that is just what I'm proposing here, a lawsuit, or more precisely a class action suit. I'm not at all sure of how to organize such a thing, but the mere threat of such a suit may just be enough for nVidia (or various card manufacturers) to take notice and fix our problem. What would happen if we were to scour the net for all the forums, where people are having this exact problem, and bring them all together to stage a protest against nVidia? Something would most definately get resolved, right? Strength in numbers. Then there would be no way for nVidia and company to sheepishly say that they have no idea about "such a problem". H3ll, even the Senate or House has been known to investigate gross negligence issues such as these from time to time.
I don't know, it's just my idea as I am now at my whits end. I feel I do not deserve these hardships after I payed this much money an obviously defective product. What do you all think?
