My enjoyment of my new 670 Windforce is being seriously marred by this error, which occurs seemingly at random when playing BF3 and leaves you dumped at the desktop with the game running in the background. At first I thought overclocking the cpu/gpu was the problem, but it happens when everything is running at stock too. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm on the verge of returning the card. This is with the latest drivers and on a clean build btw.

could try this http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2665946, but it should not happen at stock, what temps are you getting?
The problem is either Drivers or volts. If a change of drivers does not help, I would return the card as you can't add volts.
This problem on other cards like a 560TI was cured very often with adding a little more voltage but sadly with the 670, you can't.

If you do need to increase your volts, which you cant, i'd return the card. But out of interest whats your psu and your gfx temps under load?

If the OP is using a WF 670, they could try flashing the latest bios.
Good call and well worth a try.
