Hello all!
Last night I purchased and installed a PNY "XLR8 Performance Edition" NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 and installed it into my Dell Studio XPS 435MT running Windows 8 Pro x64.
Before I used the card, I used Driver Sweeper to remove the old ATI/AMD drivers on my system, and the previous NVIDIA drivers from my GT240.
The card runs excellent, except whenever I launch ANY type of game, about ten minutes into it -- this happens:

Sorry I put them as links, but I can't upload them to the thread because they're saying my account isn't validated, and it is...
Whenever this happens, I reboot and it goes away. But as soon as I play a game again, it reappears.
Should I go back to Best Buy and exchange this card? The card is running at 39 degrees Celsius (102 degrees Fahrenheit).
