I would definately call the manufacturer, I had to call EVGA when I got my card and they were great. Only problem is most of them are closed on the weekends.

911 search Google and looks like ur answers are there.
this is the correct term for the first one, you'd left out a "v"
nvsvc.dll
NVMcTray
Both of these seem to be common so I'm sure you'll get squared away pronto.

Yeah really unsure what to do as graphics still mess up after 10 15 mins. Also grapghics don't look the same as they did b4 with 7800, I hope it did'nt get too hot first time around. I have no idea how to really even trouble shoot the GC I uninstalled drivers with driver cleaner Pro but Im real leary about running this card again. Contacting BFG Tech support but u know how the phone thing goes. I can believe that a $500 card does'nt have a trouble shooting tool or somthing to warn when somthings not right, less i did'nt see it alls i got was the NVidia control Panel to work with.

well i tried ArmA again an after changin(lowering) some stuff in the Global settings(on the GC) rather then what i used at first an it appears to be running more stable. Also lowered my settings in game to normal versus high which im not sure but seems like ArmA always defaults to the higher end each time i restart an which caused all kinds of i believe heat issues after about 10 to 15 mins of play. Also talked to another ArmA player who has the same card an it appears to be the same with all 8800GTSOC users an most are babying the card til DirectX 10 comes out an supposidly provides more stability. An yes i have no clue what im talkin about  ;D just happy i did'nt fry my 460 dollar investment after 30 mins of useage ;D |

They also have been having alot fo trouble with VISTA drivers for any of Nvidias cards most of them are either BETA or just enough driver to get it running Keep checking Nivids site for updated drivers for VISTA... Yeah I know it said VISTA Ready but I dont think there was a company ACTUALLY READY for VISTA not even MS....LOL....
ALso if you are looking to buy an aftermarket cooling device go with THERMALTAKE they have the best specs and best products on the market... They are a lil more expensive but if you spent the money on a 8800 you'll want to invest an extra 50 to keep it running..

When I Downloaded the latest Unified drivers from Nvidia, there was this Ntune overclock program too. I know that I can check my GPU temps thru the NVIDIA Monitor which was part of the driver package I downloaded.
