How old is your card?

Have you installed the latest drivers for your GPU after the format?

Does any error screen occur when the "card crashes", such as a BSOD?

You may have to update the vbios which is different from driver updates most are familiar with. I had a similar problem with a 770 card where it would crash my system as it came down from a high gpu load. That card would benchmark and stress test for hours fine until i took off the load, then it would crash. A vbios update was the cure for that. Good luck with your troubleshooting.

For vbios I had to make a bootable usb drive, put win98 boot DOS files on it so I could then flash my gpu bios. If that is pretty foreign to you, you can google it for all the details. Some keys are to make sure you have the original bios available just in case, make sure you are always picking or working under "run as administrator". Last thing I can think of at the moment is if there is a physical dip switch on your card to switch between the dual bios (if the card supports it) I would switch over to the second bios and work there to ensure you can at least get back to square one.
