I think those instructions (which instruct you to contact your OEM) is for the Windows version of those drivers, since those OEM DO get the source code, and then they tweak them according to their needs (adding Video-In/Video-Out, TV Tuners, overclocking, etc...) - in that case of those drivers - you should contact the card's OEM.. > Finally, I have a problem.

Here it's stable as rock.
