Just tried the 295.73 drivers and they caused my GTX570 to hang after three or four percent. There's also a memory leak so that the memory used by the client isn't released when it's stopped and after this has happened a few times the card's memory usage is at max. It also significantly slows the SMP client on the same PC. I've gone back to 285.58.
 
I'm not sure what's going on now but it could be the card. I reverted the drivers, left it running while I was at work and it played silly wotsits all day. I created a new folder, machine ID, config, etc. and it's still being silly: 2:36 for the first seven frames, 16:44 for the eighth. I'm going to turn it off completely then run some benchies once it's cooled to see if it slows after a few minutes.
