[Solved] Nvlddmkm crashing...

So I just bought a GTX 460 and during certain games it artifacts in evenly spaced, flickering squares all over the screen, sometimes recovering, sometimes requiring a hard reset. I narrowed it down to the driver crashing, something that has been posted about since 2007 on various forums. I was going to try some older drivers, but the only driver out for my card is 258.96, none of the previous versions support the 460. Any idea as to what's causing the problem? Temps never rise past 45 and I ran both memtest86 and a vram test. Both came back with no errors.

This is what the event looks like:

Log Name: System
Source: nvlddmkm
Date: 8/6/2010 12:50:23 AM
Event ID: 14
Task Category: None
Level: Error
Keywords: Classic
User: N/A
Computer: PC
Description:
The description for Event ID 14 from source nvlddmkm cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.

If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.

The following information was included with the event:

\Device\Video5
CMDre 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000001 00000001

It repeats that event 10-15 times, then the driver recovers.

EDIT: FYI: There is only one driver version currently supporting this card, so switching to a different version is not an option

The official nvidia drivers from the nvidia site are really nice and they support the 460 try those,if you are using the drivers that came with card drop those drivers,they are buggy as hell,the ones on the nvidia site are 258.96 WHQL,those should do the trick........I just got an ASUS GTX 465 1 gig for $212.00 and the drivers that it shipped with are garbage,but the drivers posted on the nvidia site work very well............

Thanks for the reply. Typo in my OP

I actually just ended up RMAing the card

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.
