SoftICE crashes with NVIDIA 81.x/82.x drivers

No, I didn't patch my Windows kernel. I have the latest OSINFO.DAT and SoftICE work with SLI with the old drivers without any problem. But with the new drivers it simply freezes my PC if I don't enable or disable SLI just before starting SoftICE.

The problem even happens, like I already wrote, with a "clean installation with nothing else than WinXP, chipset, network and video drivers installed".

It's quite clear to me that the problem has only to do with the new video drivers. (since it is the only thing which changed since yesterday)

I repartioned one of my HDDs today, created a 20 GB primary partition and did a fresh WinXP install so that I can fully test every possible reason for the problem. And the NVIDIA drivers are the one thing which I need to change to get - depending on the driver version - either a frozen PC or no problems at all.
