Your graphics card driver crashed, means an unstable overclock. Not all cards can handle overclocking the same, some not at all. Looks like you didn't get a good one, try upping the core voltage to stabilize it if you haven't already.

 

I have had my overclock stable with most games (before I flashed my bios) but with some games it just wasn't stable and would crash no matter what. With my bios flash I was able to get 4x the overclock I was before thanks to being able to set a higher power limit and higher core voltage.

Hello! I've just recently looked into overclocking my gtx 760 and did a minimal change by increasing clock speed by 50. There have been two events within the last two days (one in Batman Arkham City and the other in League of legends) where the frame rates would drop extremely low all of a sudden to the point where the game is stuttering frame to frame and my screen would go black and my computer would be unrecoverable from its state unless I manually powered it down/rebooted. I've never had this problem before so I reset my graphics card to its default settings just in case that was the issue, but I have yet to see if this works. Can anyone with knowledge on this specific issue enlighten me on what's going on?

Thanks!

System Specs:
Asus P6TD Deluxe LGA 1366
Intel Core i7 930 2.8GHz
6GB Patriot Triple Channel RAM
80GB SSD (OS)
1TB HDD
EVGA GTX 760 Superclocked

Unstable overclock most likeley, you probably didn't win in the GPU lottery.
