Display driver has stopped responding...

Yup.

Guys, I have an idea. Could this be down to faulty memory? I have had a couple of random BSODs even with the 580 disabled under the device manager. Worth a check?
 
Nope, no artefacts. Again, this leads me to believe that there may be an issue with my memory, maybe when my old mobo blew it took that with it. Any in-windows tests for memory stability?
 
Is your cpu at stock? if not test the overclock with something like Intel Burn Test, set it to maximum stress and at least 20 runs

You could just run with 1 stick of memory for a day or until it bsod's on you
 
OK, this is rather weird.

Upped the bclock to 102, now it works fine...

Motherboard issue possibly?
 
Hi Shayper. Just to let you know i have been suffering the same problems as you have since I upgraded to a dx11 GPU. I have tried replacing the RAM, Motherboard and tried a different PSU all to no avail. My first card was an HD5850 which I RMA'd for a GTX470 Gigabyte SOC. All seemed better until a few days down the line and then the annoying problem returned. It seems to be a common problem with windows 7 and DX11 cards. Funny you should mention about raising the clocks as both my cards have been factory overclocked so I will overclock and tweak the voltage up a bit to see if that helps. One thing which has helped the problem in my case but hasn't eliminated it was to disable the second monitor. Probably halves the display driver faults. I will run my GPU overclocked tonight and see how it goes. Hopefully we may be able to find a solution as I feel your pain mate! Its so damn irritating.
 
My gpu is still at stock, the only thing I overclocked is the Sandy Bridge baseclock, as it is linked to the pci bus. Guess my card was used to running on a 220x23 setup, rather than 103x50 :)
