Graphics Card Fault?

Hello, I recently purchased a MSI Geforce 470 Twin Frozr to replace my 280 which died on me. When I installed the new graphics card I noticed I was getting a lot of graphic problems in games. Such as textures not rendering properly, things disappearing in game and a lot of BSOD on playing games. Also Fallout New Vegas and Demigod just crash instantly on startup.

I never suffered any of this with my 280 so thought it was a driver related issue and because I needed to do a fresh install of windows I reformated PC this weekend and have found I am still getting the same problems. Does this mean my new 470 is faulty and causing the related problems? I have updated everything and have the latest drivers. Any help is appreciated.
 
Thanks for the reply, yes I have MSI afterburner. Temps all ok. Non-idle runs at about 40C average. Even under load on games that work ok, all seems ok.
