'Random Game: has stopped working'

[mitchellator]

For the past few days every time i try and play anything that's not a 'high' system requirement after afew minutes/seconds of actual game play they game freezes, goes black and the above message comes up. So far it's happened with Borderland 2, Far Cry 3, Serious Sam 3.

I'm assuming it's a GFX card problem: im running a GTX 670, i've tried uninstalled old drivers and installing the newest possible ones and still getting the error. I'm completely useless when it comes to PC's so any help would be greatly appreciated

Not a high system requirement? Farcry 3 is the highest released so far??

Check temps? Have you overclocked the card?

Seems like a driver issue to me, i use to get this with the 285 but sometimes it would fix itself, but since you have reinstalled. Try the next one down from the newest i think they are more stable.

Anything that's not, so for instance LoL and WoW work.
I tried both the most recent and driver below, both have the same problem :/
The card is overclocked as when i bought the PC it came like that, after googling my problem some people with similar recommend reverting the overclocking settings, i have no idea how to do that or if it will work

The entire PC is less than a month old.
PSU is Corsair GS 600w PSU.
Will give the lowering thing a bash tomorrow when i have more time, thanks!

Done as you said and posted in the thread, they've said they will send me a new card once they receive this one.
However i forgot to mention that instead of the game crashing i've sometimes had BSODS with the error message: 'a clock interrupt was not received on a secondary processor within the time interval'

Only just seen the above two replies.
But just came back to this thread to say i got the new card and the problem is still occurring.

To answer the above: personally i didn't OC the PC but it is overclocked from where i bought it. I'd have no idea how to go about updating an OC or MB BIOS, im assuming its not as simple as downloading drivers...
