Anyone have any clue as to why? this never happened with the old stock drivers from Nvida, however i rolled back to the previous drivers and now the game still crashes, anyone have any ideas?

Basically i get into game and as soon as i hit the "next turn" button after about 30 seconds the screen goes white and then crashes to desktop.

Try doing the update at stock settings rather than overclocked. My Pii 940 BE did 30+ mins of prime but couldn't stay stable when running WCG/BOINC even though the CPU was at a bit less load and was running a few degrees cooler.
