Keep getting driver failure and screen going off

[tom91x91]

Tonight every 20 mins my screen goes blank for 10 seconds then comes back on and says something like the driver has failed but recovered and something about nt kernel, any ideas whats causing this? Running latest nvidia drivers etc.

Cheeers

Have you overclocked your card? This is the most likely cause.

sounds like a tdr, agree with above, usually unstable overclock.

Hmm sounds familiar , I also have a 460 MSI Hawk which is completely useless to me and OC.UK say its fine , Have a read of the threads below and see if you have the same problems as me and many others

thanks will lower OC to see if it helps, not playing anything other than wow right now anyway.

Been getting some odd problems with my PC, occasionally blue screens with some kind of bad pool error, and when i try and open things like firefox, it usually takes a few clicks, but all the clicks that didnt work still open up a process in task manager using up ram.

I'll ask about these in GH though as their not gpu related.
