First off, LOVE the card! BUT! I keep getting the blue screen of death? Any suggestions? Has this happened to anyone else?

If you did not overclock your system then most likely is the PSU caused problem.

Just a checklist of some basic stuff: a) Drivers? Are you using the stuff your OS auto-detects and installs (Windows 7 defaulted to VGA drivers in my installation), old/new/beta AMD, or modded/custom drivers (e.g. Omega) b) stock settings or overclocked? Some cards come OC'd by default, which can cause poor performance and crashing if your system is not prepared to deal with excess heat and power drain. c) single card or running in Crossfire? Again, having two cards can cause heating and power issues. Also make sure the bridge is firmly seated on both cards. Of course there are other things which can go wrong (failing memory and such), but thought I would cover the basics and the easiest to fix. What specific error message is your BSOD giving you? Are you sure it is directly related to the card, or did it perhaps exacerbate some other underlying issue? Does it happen when trying to run certain programs? The most common hardware related causes I've had in the past were either driver related or due to failing hard-disks and faulty RAM. The first steps I would take would to be to remove and re-seat the card, preferably into a different PCI-E slot if available, check to make sure the power supply is rated sufficiently high enough to meet the card's demands, make sure the case is clean and the fans are properly circulating air. Start the PC in safe mode, uninstall the old drivers, install the new ones (maybe experimenting with different versions) and then reboot. On the off-chance it is memory related, also try swapping out your RAM sticks from the DIMM slots as to test each to make sure both they and the slots themselves are in working order. Typically if I wanted to test if it was hardware related or some quirk with Windows or its drivers, I would boot into a Linux flash disk and see if I could get everything working there all right. Take this with the caveat I'm not a professional in this subject, but just drawing from my years of personal experience.

I've had no blue screens. Usually there an error code on blue screens. I'd Google the error code to find out what is causing it. If it's the GPU it may need to be returned for a new one

I have not had a problem like. Mine work fine. Could it be a defective card?

Hi Craig, Thanks for your useful input. At this stage I think I too should have gone for the 1TB model. Now I can't seem to download video clips onto the 1.5 TB. It starts off OK then freezes and the usual Task Manager solutions don't seem to help and I end up with the dreaded blue screen. I have to switch off and start again. Very boring. If anyone has a solution would be most grateful for help

I am wondering the same now.. No wonder I have never been able to get it to work on my computer. Lately can't get my camera to even recognize the card. I had to go purchase a new card

My recommendation would be to buy another brand. I had a card RMA'd two times. It now sits in the shelf collecting dust.

I had the same problem. I found out that I needed a 1 gig card and had bought one that had too many gig. I tried the 1 gig and it worked just fine. Good luck with it.

Sorry, the laptop I was using the card with died, shortly after I got the card. (Unrelated problem.) That was the only machine I have that would take the card. Bad timing for me. However, I had no problems with the card while the laptop was working.

I just spoke with a representative at Midland. I am using a 64GB card and have not had any problems yet. She told me that if I ever have a problem with the video freezing or being "choppy", try reducing down from a 64GB to a 32GB. This will obviously give you less record time but should solve any problems

It jams sometimes, but it doesn't damage cards. It seems to be jamming more often lately. Any suggestions on how to prevent jamming?

I have no idea but you can try to format the card again, this may solve the problem. If not, I'll suggest to return it.

What's the chipset of the card? According to this page from VMware, your card may not be supported out-of-the-box on a clean install. Mine is 82571EB which is deprecated. Link: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd;=displayKC&externalId;=2056935

Honestly, I have the EVGA GTX 670 and I have had it replaced in less than a year. HDMI sound kept shutting down when the system went into sleep mode. Then I had to reboot to get it back. EVGA sent me a replacement card right away but, it has the same problem only not as often. I also have had two other EVGA cards go belly-up on me in the past six months. I started buying MSI and others.

Thank you for your reply. I was wondering if there's some problems with my video card hardware, now it seems to be the driver's problem. Luckily other programs works normally. I submitted this problem to ASUS support 1 month ago but get no responce. All we can do is just wait ASUS to update the graphic driver and hope the new driver can fix this problem.

I have the same issue and it seems pretty common on the reviews. Any idea where the drivers are that would fix this? Which one does the trick?

This card was was OK on my 32 bit machine but a disaster on my 64 bit Win 7 machine. Everything worked until you booted up nex time. Then it was blue screen of death. I don't know if it was a bad card or some other hardware interaction. After the time wasted in tracking the problem down, I was not about to continue debugging for Western Digital. Good luck if you try it but it definitely did not work for me.

Gosh -- thank you for the above feedback! I was just about to get the 680. Does anyone know if they have fixed the problem in New York City? If they haven't, I better save the money and get the 660!

The Dwa 160 is not worth buying... I honestly believe it won't work. I'm using it now on XP and I'm totally disappointed with it. It works alright for maybe around month but then It frequently disconnects and then it starts to goes on a disconnect and connect loop every 10 seconds. It causes Blue Screen of Death Errors.. I been trying to play Max Panye(PC) and it kept crashing to the BSOD every three minutes and I been trying to figure out why thanks to the game I was able to find out DWA-160 was causing Blue Screen Errors to my computer for the past 3 months when I bought the Adapter 5 months ago. When I removed it the game started working fine. It repeatably disconnects and pop up a annoying window when trying to play a PC game(not a online game) or download something over 20mbs or trying to watch a video.
