Guru3D.com Image Last night we where informed by NVIDIA that the current Forceware 196.75 drivers might have a bug, as a result we took the drivers offline.

Now if you have these driver installed we encourage you uninstall them strongly. In some scenarios the outcome is that during gaming your graphics card fan might stop spinning, causing inevitably an overheat and crash shutdown of your graphics card.

Safety first i'd say, uninstall them and then please use the previous set of drivers.

We have a discussion thread open on these driver right here and here.
