Try other drivers? (use a drivercleaner first)

Fresh windows installation to exclude software problems?

i dunno.. try a few graphic intensive games, like doom3 or such. set them to high setting, doesn't matter if you get sucky fps.. we'll just experiment full load on the GPU.. if it crashes... well, it might be overheating...
