Please help!

I have a major problem where my PC keeps freezing and applications crashing. The sound loops and makes a horrible noise. It lasts for a good couple of mins then crashes to desktop.

Recently, an error has been popping up in the taskbar saying "Display Driver NVIDIA Windows Kernel Mode Driver version has stopped responding." - similar to this image i found on google

display-driver-nvlddmkm-stopped-responding.jpg


I know this is likely a driver issue, so i uninstalled all nvidia drivers and reinstalled the ones on the disk, which didn't work, the latest official Nvidia ones, which didn't work and the latest from ASUS website (its an ASUS 560ti) which also didn't work.

I have also just tried to re-seat the card, incase it was coming out the motherboard. This also didn't have any effect.

It usually only crashes on full screen things like games (ARMA) or even youtube, but has now started happening even in Firefox.

I have just this last 5 mins got another error after the freezing, which is DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED.

The only thing that has changed recently, is I have got new internet, which means I am on wireless instead of wired, as the router is in a difficult place to wire. This shouldn't cause this issue though.

Specs:

ASUS GTX560Ti
Intel i5-2500 CPU
PH67-UD3-B3 Mobo
8gb RAM
WD Caviar Green HDD 500gb
Win 7
600w PSU

Yes - "latest official Nvidia ones" I've actually tried 4 or 5 different drivers
