hey all, I bought for my old man a 6600GT for XMAS (we open pressies here on xmas eve).
Anyway, everything seems to work fine (3dmark works fine) F.E.A.R works fine, but NFS:MW does not, it plays the intro fine but as soon as it hits the main menu the game hardlocks.
Originally it displayed some weird artifacts then hardlocked (now it just crashes instantly).
I'm using the same drivers as my own 6600GT, and as I said, all other games, windows and 3dmarks work fine (With no artifacts or crashing).

Tried re-installing NFS, to no avail, any ideas? :(

Cheers.

wierd. worked fine for me, sorry i cant help..try the new drivers is my only guess..

Problem solved when i woke up this morning, not entirely sure what the issue was.
I re-installed soundcard drivers and cleaned some stuff up off running processes, then re-installed NFS. Rebooted and it worked.

if nfs is like the old versions, you can run 3dsetup to detect your video card, maybe they've changed it to run on install so if you change video cards you need to reinstall it? Was it running on his pc with another video card previously?
