Random driver crashes?

[tatts]

I recently bought a MSI GTX 560 Ti Twin Frozr II/OC from the B grade but i'm having problems.
Every now and then i get 5 small artifact squares (red) followed by a blank screen for around 5 seconds before it comes back and tells me the driver has recovered? It doesn't do it often, once every other day i would say. I've updated the drivers but still the same issue.

Do you still have integrated video enabled (if you have it?)

Haven't got a clue, is there an easy to check?

Thanks for the reply. It did it a couple of times last night, one was a full checkered screen
I've never overclocked it, as a casual gamer it doesn't appeal to me.

Go into BIOS, look for integrated graphics and disable.

I had a lot of driver crashes caused by this but didn't have the artifacting. It's possible the gpu is faulty but it's worth checking the above... is there a VGA / DVI connector on your motherboard?

It's a gigabyte assassin 2 X79 which has no onboard graphics

Damn, i had a feeling it was RMA time
Temps are fine, it's happening while browsing.

So it doesn't happen while gaming?

What browser are you using? If it's Firefox then you're not the only one :

I'm just using IE9. Sometimes the bottom half of the screen has the squares, sometimes i just get about 5 in the middle and other times it's a full screen checkered. My squares are red

It's an Nvidia card so no Catalyst Control Centre. GPU-Z is showing only 34C
