186.82, worked pretty well! Temps were well within the normal M17x range (ice cold) . HybridSLI also had no issues and for the first time, pulling out the AC adapter automatically placed the system into Save Power Mode. No more manual switching when going on DC power

Geez dude... you think you could at least come up with your own description of 186.82 or at least credit the source. Nice copy and paste job from my blog post. ROFL - sad man... just sad.

3rd paragraph, 3rd sentence

Batboy.. that does not matter... pretty much, my interest here is to help you folks... with latest drivers.

You can post your blog posts here... so everyone can be informed about the releases.... Sounds good to you?

Tried these new 186.82 drivers, I'm running Win 7 64bit and dual 260ms with hybrid disabled.

The 186.12 drivers installed fine but when I try to install these I just get no valid device found?

Fairey:

Once you have downloaded and extracted the 186.82 driver from LV2Go, look inside the directory for the 'Additional INFs' .zip archive.

Extract this and copy/paste the 'nv_whql.inf' into the top level of the 186.82 directory.

Once this is done, run the setup.exe app to install. This is required for the driver to recognize the hardware in the M17x. The default INF (nvfu.inf) does not support the M17x GPUs.

Excellent thanks worked like a charm, now just need to work out why my SSD keeps freezing up randomly!

Re-seat the cable?

Yup going to try reseating the HDD1 drive tonight and worst case I'll have to revert to the original drive which I may do anyway to see if it solves my SLI issues running the factory installed Vista 64, first I need to do some Vantage benchmarks and screen shots with GPUz :-) Late night for me!
