Hi folks,

I bought the abovementioned board and video card back in January along with a core 2 E8400 CPU. Everything's been working great, but I occasionally have been getting a video corruption/system crash issue whenever I run DScaler for a while. I chalked it up to a bad driver or new version of DScaler, until I watched a DVD and the same thing happened.

It can happen right away or after an hour or more, and the overlay, be it Dscaler, PowerDVD, or other fullscreen video, gets covered in strips of about 1" wide horizontal lines (with the last frame visible between these lines). Usually the mouse pointer gets scrambled as well, and within 30 seconds or so the whole system's locked and I have to reset.

I'm running the latest BIOS on the board, the latest nVidia drivers from Palit (169.32), and Windows XP Pro (32 bit). Anyone else seen anything like this?
I can run Crysis/COD4/anything else for hours on end, at seemingly much higher load, and I have no problems, so I'm hoping it's not a motherboard issue.

try the latest drivers from nvidias site, i never reccomend drivers from the manufacturer. also try a installing nvidia pure video decoder it may solve your problem becuase to me it sounds like a decompressor problem.

I had the latest nvidia drivers from the nvidia (an older release than palit's) site before I switched to the palit ones, no change.. but I'll try looking for the pure video decoder.

Ok, I found this thread that illustrates exactly the problem I'm having:

It seems more like a problem with the chipset, either a driver or a hardware bug. This thread turns out to be for the 780i chipset but mine is a 750, but the symptoms are exactly the same. Any suggestions? I posted to the NVidia forums on the off chance that someone can give me a solution, but at this point it might be a case of going to a different board and putting this one on Kijiji... since I'm sure the board itself is not technically defective...
