I just performed a clean install of Vista 3 days ago and have had 15 crashes from nVidia since then. Interestingly their website says that the problems attributed to them by MS are not usually REALLY their fault - but I can tell you that my display flickers / goes black / gets fuzzy before crashing - so this one is definitely an nVidia issue. So lame. My Sony VAIO laptop (VGN SZ370P) with nVidia GeForce7400 display adapter crashes constantly after installing Vista.

The machine cannot remember the arrangement or resolution of monitors, and with a KVM resets config every time the KVM is used. I've been to the display dialog box 11 million times in the past 12 months. Dell of course doesn't care or react. nVidia has issued updates that do not fix the problems. As of today, they're still horrible. On my Dell since Vista (with Quadro NVS 110M) the use of external or dual monitors is a constant nightmare.

Nice catch. How in the world did you notice that? The actual data used by Ars Technica to make that chart comes from numbers that were rounded up or down from hundredths to tenths, hence the discrepancy. Wow. Nice catch.

Anyway, My Vista machine doesn't crash too often, maybe I'm one of the lucky ones. Haha, same result Rob.

I totaled it up to 100.3...does anyone else want to verify my math? Does anyone have a problem with a graphic that shows percentages that add up to more than 100?
