Per conversation with a few people recently having issues regarding use of Nvidia graphics chip-sets and dual monitors, here is my observations and possible solution(s).

Problem: When using dual monitors, windows reports a crash has been detected within the Nvidia driver kernel. This seems to happen more so when utilizing HDMI, and even more so when one monitor is HDMI and the other is DVI. THis problem also seems to manifest itself more so when using Adobe flash, and/or when the computer is left on for an extended period of time without restarting it.

Possible Solution(s):

1) Installing updated beta graphics drivers seems to reduce the issue slightly, though it appears that after awhile the same problem will arise, though reinstalling the driver seems to cure the problem for a while.

2) Restart the computer.... often.

3) The solution that seems to be the most effective is not running dual monitors, though I have observed the problem with a single monitor that was on HDMI.





Please feel free to comment and add your observations if you are experiencing said problem above.

I've had the issue where my drivers crash and then re-start themself just using a single monitor on DVI I think (white slots). Though I've only had them when I have had the beta drivers that came out for BF3 Beta. But yeah, I find it activates more with Flash and Javascript running in the background.
