Vista 64 Lockups

Just got win vista 64 bit home premium. did not install any drivers 1st off,
tried some games, movie files, etc and the computer freezes forcing a hard
reset. tried installing nvidias chipset and video drivers with the same
thing. tried my sound blaster audigy 2 zs gamer-same, removed it then tried
the onboard sound and it still locks soon as i start something that utilizes
demanding video. everything else seems fine, web browsing, email, usenet etc.
It tells me that every nvidia driver was not digitally signed and a couple of
times i had a 'windows failed to start because one or more files could not be
authentically verified' or some similar message. is there a way to disable
the driver verification in this ver of windows? or anyone else experience
similar behavior and how to fix? much thanks for any info provided.

The latest video drivers from nVidia work fine here, the ones from Microsoft
update were horrible.

i tried the last 9x.xx release from nvidia, have the beta 100.64 on it now
and it just doesent perform at all hardly before it locks. cant even use the
nforce 3 chipset drivers, thats where i get the 'windows cannot start' error
and have to use last known good menu to get back into windows.

At the moment I have the 100.54 video drivers working well. I have the
nforce4 and 590 chipsets. It might be worthwhile for you to do a memory. Do
you have any entries in your log files.

I've ran memtest86 recently and it returned no errors. I havent done the
memory diags in windows tho. As far as the logs go, I dont see anything
related to my problem there. Seems like it locks before it can write an
event. 100.54? I dont see those on the nvidia web side could you post a link?
Thanks for your replies.

Nvidia is not too happy about their own drivers, as they still seem to
recommend Windows XP for their products.... :-))
But then, these are beta-drivers, so you can expect some troubles. If you
want a perfectly working Vista-machine, it's best to wait a bit before
upgrading to Vista, untill all the drivers are ready for your hardware. It
saves you a lot of headache trying to fix things.
