Two things

[The General]

F.E.A.R. seems to have a problem with these nvidia drivers... I'm using 91.31, what happens is I play for a few minutes and then F.E.A.R. hangs, followed by some screen flashing. It's not overheating, and the CPU is stable, it does it even when I set the CPU back to stock speeds.

And I have downloaded the BF2 patch TWICE (all 500mb of it ) and when I double click on it, two sessions of it run, but nothing happens, the processes are just running.

Anyone have some help they could offer?

Whoa, 91.31 huh...I'm at 81.98 personally. I had downloaded 84.xx way back when and I got worse performance so I went back to these older ones. I haven't tried 91.31 yet though.

As for the bf2 patch, dont know...

Genral, are you sure it's not just that 7900GT KO SC that's starting to give problems? With mine, I can play all my games fine, but FEAR crashes after about 30 secs into the game, regardless of what drivers I use. I dunno anymore, I give up!

Thats exactly the same problem I have! But before I swapped by motherboard and CPU, I was able to play FEAR just fine. So I think it isn't the video card.

Have you tried turning down the Graphic Detail?
Redownloading and reinstalling card Drivers?
Updateing or even reinstall the Game?

None of the above? I guess I should try. It's a pain in the arse though, its 5 CD's...
