Uncompatible NVidia Graphics Card + Computer Crash when loading game

Hey guys,
I understand you're a little loaded with stress right now, but you should know that for the last 6 or so times i've tried to log into the game either it has crashed causing me to relogin, or my computer has blue-screened-of-death on me.
Which is quite odd i think since i was playing the game perfectly last night from 1130pm to about 6am.
A window will also pop up saying the client crashed and that my graphics card in incompatible (GeForce 9800 GT 1GB DDR3) and then another with pop up saying it was unable to create a D3D device.
Any light shed on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your time Cryptic, you guys are doing a great job on the game.

    My game client was crashing over and over again too. I turned off the NVIDIA Physx GPU acceleration for my NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT. Once I turned this off I have been able to play without any problems. Not sure if this will help but here is hoping :o

    Also check your drivers version - lots of people (including me) have rolled back to using nVidia 190.62 drivers as opposed to newer ones.
