DANGER
Nvidia users be on alert as the recently-released GeForce 196.75 WHQL graphics driver has been confirmed to have an issue that, let's just say, messes up the fan speed of GeForce cards, causing them to overheat. This problem kicks in for real while gaming or running benchmarks and is reported to have let to the frying of a few cards already.
While it's investigating the fan controller bug, Nvidia has pulled the GeForce 196.75 driver from its website. Those who have the driver installed are advised to go back to 196.21
