3DC, PaintShop and several file explorers are open (Vista ultimate 32 bit).
I click on the icon on the left to display the desktop, I start Everest from an icon on the desktop; close it after reading some information.

I click on 3DC in the task bar.
A popup windows tells me that an unerecoverable error has occured. Often errors as these can be resolved by updating the drivers for your graphic card..." with Error #: -2005530516

It was not reproduced.

Definitely some graphic driver bug?

Hi Richard,

It happened again just navigating between applications in the task bar (left side with menus OK but black image in the scene area; crash when clicking in a tab in the menu).

There is a more recent nVidia driver, do you think it's worth trying it ?

I realized I made changes in the memory settings.
By default the memory was seen as PC5300 (333 Mhz) whereas memory specifications are PC6400 between 1.9 and 2V.
Instead of the default memory voltage (likely 1.9V), I just set to 2.00V.

I'll see in the long run if "Error #: -2005530516" has disappeared.

Update : I confirm that there is no problem since memory voltage modification. nVidia driver is working fine.
