First win7 blue screen
Well, I finally forced Windows 7 to BSOD - and it took me overheating my vid card badly to do it. The BSOD immediately then bounced the box.
For the record - am using a 1650 Pro - ran it super hard using World in Conflict - and after two card resets due to heat it finally forced the OS to croak. So it is possible - but it seems to be pretty danged difficult. And no - I was not intentionally trying.

I managed to BSOD it once, but I was semi-deliberately trying by installing drivers not certified for it. It seemed to be pretty bullet proof when I was playing around with it. Can't wait for the RC to come out to install it again.

Yes I know - but right now I am stuck with it. Hopefully I can upgrade it soon. It has served me well to date, though I did have to replace the fan on it once.
Recommendations on a card under 150 would be appreciated. I am leaning toward nvidia simply based on the number of fans I have had to replace on ATI cards (3 replacements on 2 cards), though I am not locked into that. Both would be considered.
