After re-installing an entirely new 64-bit operating system onto a 1 TB hard drive away from my supposedly faulty SSD, I'm still getting display driver problems. When I try to run a game like PAYDAY 2, things run normally for a few minutes before I start getting constant black screen freezes every few seconds before it resumes, then it just eventually crashes catastrophically, and I mean the whole computer.
I'm honestly thinking it may be my graphics card at this point. I've tried downgrading the drives, among other things.

Have you checked your temperatures?
Yes, the display driver crashes are still happening even at around 50 °C.
Yeah, I think it might be the card, but, you are sure you have the latest drivers? I know you said you tried downgrading, but did you have the latest drivers, and do you have the latest ones now?
[QUOTE=~Kiwi~v2;46162580]I'm starting to think the card is dead.
Unless you have another PCI-E slot free to try the card in I'd RMA the thing by now.[/QUOTE]
No free PCI-E slot, already tried the two remaining ones.

344.41 seem to be the latest drivers, so yes, I do.
[QUOTE=~Kiwi~v2;46162689]RMA the card at this point.[/QUOTE]
I'll see what I can do about getting the spare 670 my dad purchased back when we had problems with that SSD, since I don't think RMA is possible because I got this card last year so the warranty may have expired by now.
