I am having a really difficult time playing ME on the PC due to GPF crashes occuring constantly (I install via CDs). I've read other threads about this issue and it seems to be a problem with the video card drivers and I have tried many, none work. I don't understand if I'm doing something wrong when switching around drivers maybe or ... well I just don't know. I'm extremely frustrated, especially because I have played Mass Effect on this exact same computer with the exact same video card and everything with NO problems whatsoever. I decide to play it over again, well I needed to because I accidentily erased all my save files and wanted to port decisions over to ME2, and bam! issues all over the place. Ok first things first, Computer details:

Video Card: nVidia Geforce 9600gt, 512mb video card ram, I have tried many different drivers 174.74, 175.19, 182.06, and the newer ones 259.32, and 260.99. All give me GPF crashes constantly. I can occasionally get play time inbetween 30-60min, but otherwise it'll crash every 5-10min and sometimes more frequently than that.

OS: Vista 64 service pack 2

Processor: AMD dual core 3.1ghz

Misc: 127gb free space, 4gb ram

When I switch video card drivers I go to control panel and uninstall nVidia Drivers, prompting a reboot, which I then do in safe mode, use disk sweeper to delete all extra nVidia files. Which then promts a new reboot. After getting back into windows I install the new drivers, which I downloaded from nVidia before hand. Am I supposed to install anything else? I thought all you had to do with that is download the 174.74 Vista 64 driver and then install that and that's it. Is there something I'm missing here? This is extremely frustrating. I can run Fallout:NV on maxed settings, SC2, Civ 5, and others with no problems whatsoever, but this I get soooooo many crashes its ridiculous. Oh also, I have Bring Down the Sky installed, and am patched up to 1.02. The 1.02 patch specifically mentions that GPF crashes were supposedly resolved with nVidia drivers 182.06 (and above I think), which is why I tried that driver. The others I heard were stable in other threads, but like I said I get crashes no matter what I do it seems like. Any help would be appreciated.

Edit: I have directX 10, but of course have the directX9.0c compatibility

This game exceeds what the Dx10 version of Direct3D has for backward compatibility, but if that (misiing Dx9) was why it's GPFing, there would also be a lot of failures due to missing d3 dlls.

The majority of the GPF threads are not on this server here, but rather are on the Legacy forum, but the search there is useless because it only will try to locate comments newer than six months old, and there can be none such, since the Legacy forums were closed that long ago.

Use Google or Yahoo and redirect it to look in that site.

I had GPF problems too but I managed to solve mine by going about it this way.

1. Install, then Patch Game to latest version

2. A program called "Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package" also gets installed as well, during installation.
Uninstall this, then download the 2005, 2008 + 2010 versions from the microsoft website, then reinstall those.

3. Change Compatability mode to XP Service Pack 2.

Hopefully It will work.

Oh and my Nvidia Driver version is 197.45
