I've gotten two errors about a kernel nVidia driver that stopped working. It would stop for a second, and then a mess would come up saying that the driver failed and successfully recovered. Has anyone has this issue? I'm using the latest drivers. 280.26.

My computer has been on all day, and the last game I played was GTA 4. I fell asleep with it still running, but the game was paused. I check my tempts and it was hovering around 40c when I checked it.
I should I try to reinstall the drivers? Or is there a way to check for bad drivers?
I have this PC for almost a week.
Also, it happened while I was running Firefox 6.
Windows Event Log says it's "nvlddmkm".
"Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered."
Apparently, I'm not the only [url=http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=207666&st=220]one[/url].
I'm going try what they suggested.
Also, please keep your "ATI RULES" comments out of this.
The GPU is being unstable which can happen for tons of reasons, like over heating or an unstable overclock.

(i think it could be a software problem too)
I just bought this GPU and I never overclocked. Anyway it hasn't happen in a while. But, I like is ad, I'm not the only one with the issue. It seems a lot of people on nividia's forums has this issue after update their drivers to 280.26.
It's happened to me, too, on moderate overclocks on 280, thought it was just the overclocks since I got a new video card through an RMA. Might just be an unstable driver, roll back or wait for a new one.
That's what I'm going to to if this happens again. It's been almost 12 hours since it has happen.
