Does anyone know why this happens?

Is it a driver thang?

from WinCustomize Forums

Hey guys, I get this error occaisionally and my graphics driver crashes. I reinstalled the driver to no avail. I do know that my graphics card is rated for a minimum 300 watt power supply and I only have a 250W.

This usually happens when running Photoshop, or Yahoo Video Chat.

Sometimes, when running Photoshop for a while, if I open another graphics program, my PC will go grey and I have to manually reboot to fix it. I get a kernel power error in my event log.

 

Please help.

nVidia sound drivers??? I did not even know they made a sound card.

The sound is built in to boards that have the nForce chipsets.

No. But the sound IS a part of the video card if it has an HDMI hookup, which mine has. But I don't use the HDMI connection. I use the VGA. I have an HDMI TV I use as a monitor, but when hooked up via HDMI, I don't get as nice a display. VGA seems crisper.

Never heard of a video card that has a sound output. Interesting.

What I meant is that Nvidia makes the chipset on the board therefore they make drivers for the sound output.

Maybe on some...not on mine. I do have an nVidia chipset on my board, and my ethernet controller is nVidia. But my sound is Realtek HiDef sound.

You will find the driver for the audio is also listed at Nvidia's website.
