GPU freezing and locking up PC?

From time to time my computer locks up and the screen is plastered with rows of green dots. All of the dots are moving in place so I know it's from the GPU. The first time this happened it successfully recovered but the more recent ones it didn't recover at all, forcing me to hard restart. I have an EVGA 650 Ti SSC and is not OC'ed. The lock-ups happen when I'm not gaming, so it can't be running hot (idles at 35 C) nor can it be over-voltages. Also have latest drivers installed (337.88).

i will suggest changing the GPU to the next slot if you have not done so

 

run from the onboard display out

 

or borrow another GPU to make sure it not the trouble

have you try running with just one stick of RAM?

 

try Memtest first and see if there are any memory errors
