Driver or hardware failure?

[Mekismo]

Hello

I recently brought a Gigabyte GeForce GTX 560Ti super OC 1024mb GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics card from Overclockers. I keep getting a fault with the product, frequently whilst playing games I get a device driver failed error and has recovered, on the bottom right of the screen a popup saying "Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered."

Sometimes the game just crashes other times the entire desktop is knackered and the resolution is reset to lowest settings etc. It happens every 30 mins to an hour.

I have used the latest Nvidia drivers, and I have also tried previous driver versions, the error still remains. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Whats your PSU and other specs?

Is your rig overclocked?

Case/load temps an issue?

Sounds like an unstable overclock to me, try running MSI Afterburner and lowering the clock speed to see if that clears up the issue. If it does it's RMA time as the card will obviously not run at its specified clock speed (not fit for purpose)
