Vista hard crash after 1.1 install

from Sins Forums

Hey guys, got a weird problem after I installed 1.1, and it's happened twice now in 24 hours or so.  Sometimes when I'm playing, the game just hard locks my machine-- screen goes black (and the orange light comes on showing it's not getting any input from the graphics card), the sound that was playing at the moment starts to repeat, and I can't alt-tab or force-quit the game, I have to reboot the machine.  Game worked fine previous to 1.1, never had any problems with a crash like this.

I'm running Vista 32 bit, Nvidia 8800 GTS, Intel Core 2 duo 2.13 GHz, and 3 GB of RAM.

I haven't yet noticed any common circumstances in what I was doing in game when it crashed.

Any ideas?

What video driver version do you have (sounds like a driver failure)?

Currently running the 178.13 drivers.  Just downloaded them earlier this month (or maybe it was the end of last month... anyway, it was recently).
