Is my graphics card on the way out?

I've got a EVGA 580 GTX which is near to being two years old now. It's never been overclocked, just left stock.

Lately I've been experiencing random crashes whilst playing WoW or CoD, especially if I'm streaming to twitch at the same time at 720p.

I've been through both the technical supports for both games and have played around with all sorts of latest/older/beta Nvidia drivers to see if it would remedy anything, but nothing seems to make a difference.

I guess my question is, is it typical behavior for a graphics card to cause issues with random crashing if there is a problem with them at a hardware level?
 
Yeah I've gone back to the 314 drivers, first noticed the issues after installing version 320.

I will do some testing on other games and maybe something like 3D Mark and see if I can get it to crash.
