Hello
A few days ago I installed Battlefield 1942, changed its display settings to 1920*1080*32 60 fps via some config (in-game settings didn't work), launched a battle and after 3 seconds of playing I caught BSoD and my PC rebooted itself. That happened in Windows 7 64-bit, I tried to start it again but got BSoD 0x116 nvlddmkm.sys after Win7 logo shown (there also were a few seconds of no signal state). Then I tried to launch Windows XP instead of 7 and saw a screenshot from the game! It was there during 20-30 seconds, then I got BSoD 0x8E nv4_isp.dll. I launched Win7 in Safe Mode, deleted NVIDIA drivers via Control Panel, rebooted my PC and logged in to Win7 successfully (but with a standard VGA adapter instead of GTX 560). I did the same thing with WinXP. Every time I install NVIDIA graphics drivers again (tried the oldest and newest versions) I get the same BSoD after rebooting. The situation is almost identical in both XP and 7, just error codes and files are different. Actually, there's one more: I get some artifacts (blue dots) on WinXP logo at the end of its appearance, then blue dots all over a black screen, some random colored dots all over the screen (I used to get game screenshot parts 2-3 times, but then I started to get those dots).
The fact that I launched BF1942 in Win7 and got a game screenshot in WinXP after rebooting makes me think that my GPU somehow memorized an image rendered once and can't get rid of it.
What I've already tried:
Sure, I can use my PC without NVIDIA drivers, but I can't change my screen resolution from default 4:3 to 16:9 and can't normally use 3D or FullHD video.
Looks like I have some serious hardware prolems with my GPU, but caused by just a game. How do I get it back to work normally? Even nvflash'ing didn't help. Is there any way to clear GPU's memory (or whatever it has)?

What I've already tried:
- sfc /scannow - nothing found
- chkdsk c: /f - nothing found
- memtest86 with default settings - nothing found, my RAM is okay
- reinstalled NVIDIA drivers for both 7 and XP multiple times (tried different versions) - BSoD when drivers are installed, no BSoD without them
- nvflash'ed my GPU BIOS with the same BIOS version (70.24.21.00.00) and the newer one (70.24.36.00.00) - nothing changed at all
- deleted nvlddmkm.sys from "c:/windows/system32/drivers/" right after installing NVIDIA drivers - no BSoD, but with a standard VGA adapter, just like if I had no NVIDIA drivers at all
- reconnected my GPU and removed some dust - nothing changed

And yeah, even BSoD screen has some artifacts on it.
