Ok. Perhaps not user error, but perhaps the problem is not with the nForce driver either.
Some people have had great experience with the nVidia drivers, such as yourself, and others have not, like me.
I installed the 6.53 drivers last week and, oh boy. First class ticket to Nightmare City. The ethernet driver completely bogged my 'net connection down to almost a standstill. Either that or the firewall threw a heap of mud on it. Then, Windows no longer recognized my NEC ND-3520A DVD +/- RW drive. Gone. The only place the optical appeared was in the BIOS.
I had to do a System Restore to roll everything back to a point a few days prior to the meltdown.
It could just be that these drivers are in conflict with specific makes and models of hardware, which you may not have. I mean, not all tires blow out on a Ford Explorer, capice?
Spare yourself the headache and don't waste your time with the 6.53's. I'll save you the price of the ticket: The movie sucked.
