    Do you have nVidia graphics card? (NV) or maybe nVidia on your Mobo?

    Try uninstalling your graphics with a tool for that purpose (gets all the files and registry settings) like driver cleaner pro. Just be aware that if you also have nVidia drivers on your motherboard (nVidia chipset) they might need removal and reinstallation as well. The NV error is too generic to be sure. It wouldn't hurt to get new drivers for both the motherboard and graphics (if they both have nVidia drivers) and use the driver removal tool to get all nVidia drivers and then reinstall.

    I have the Nvdia driver 169.21 for 32 bit installed version 6-14-11-6921

    i have just noticed that my processor is an Amd 2.20gb Athlon 64bitx2 Dual Core .
    would the driver installed be okay ,as i notice that Nvdia do a 64bit version of this same driver

    You only use 64bit drivers when you have a 64bit OS not a 64bit CPU. I don't like the fact that you said when you installed the new drivers it extracted the old ones. Thats got to be your problem. Never let a graphics installation do the uninstalling for you, always uninstall yourself and then use a special tool to remove the remainder or any traces left behind. Also do a registry cleaning with a tool for that purpose as well. Graphics drivers are notorious for causing problems when the old drivers are not removed properly and nVidia is notorious for not supplying a removal tools for you. Use Driver Cleaner Pro, its free, just be aware that nVidia makes mobo drivers too, and either watch what you remove or be prepared to reinstall more than your graphics. Tuneup Utilites has a great registry cleaner in it, but its not free, for freeware try "Wise Registry Cleaner" or "Eusing Free Registry Cleaner".

    This may be something best answered in the nvidia forums. It could have something to do with your cpu (there are special amd drivers for their dual core processors). I have recently read some nasty things about nvidia hiding problems and blaming them on other parts when they new good and well it was them. Ati is no better, when there are only two choices we all get screwed because there's nowhere to go.

    Hi

    What Windows version are you using? is it also fully upto date?

    Try latest drivers from Nvidia which currently are 169.25 if Vista 32bit is what you using and if you read the release notes that accompany these latest drivers SLI 8600GTs are not fully supported as yet by Nvidia drivers, so non-fully supported drivers do give out errors at times and one could be resuming from hibernation, even though your PC may function correctly, sadly you have to wait for fuly compatible drivers.

    Also are you overclocking? if you are revert back to default and see if error still occurs.
