Problem with GTX 285 BSOD with 30 mins of running any 3d game in Vista 64

[Storm]

Hi all,

I've just bought a new system and am having problems with BSOD everytime I run 3d games.

System spec is;

Vista64 Bit
Intel Core i7 920 @ 3.32Ghz (it's an shop Overclocked OcUK machine)
BFG GTX 285 OC2
6GB Ram

Games / 3d apps I've tried are;

Unreal Tournament 3
Crysis
Oblivion
Neverwinter Nights 2
3DMark 06 (which has crashed twice out of four attempts)

The games crash within 30 mins, a lot of the time within 5-10 mins.

The screen goes black then get the BSOD with the message

"Atempt to reset the display driver and recover from timeout failed".

I've updated the drivers to 182.50 (7.15.11.8250) to no avail. Using SpeedFan to look at temperatures and the GPU never seems to get above 70c.

Everything else with regards Vista 64bit runs great, HD video editing, etc. The computer is super fast, love it, just wish we could play games on it, which is the main reason for getting it.

Any ideas ?

Cheers,

Tried uninstalling drivers, booting into safe mode then using Driver sweeper or Driver cleaner, then booting into normal mode again and trying to install the drivers again?
Also, might be worth trying slightly older drivers, check out the archive section for 181.22 or similar.
