i just bought a ASUS GTX 660 Direct CU II 2gb graphics card about 4 days ago, and its been running fine except last night while i was playing Far cry 3 it came up with a black screen and green squares/blocks then my computer went straight to the bois screen and restarted, today i've had it happen to me about 5-6 more times, all but one was farcry 3, and that was GTA IV.
games like battlefield 3 and metro last light are running fine?

my specs are:
AMD FX-8350 8 core CPU
Asrock 980DE3 motherboard
8gb corsair value ram
ASUS GTX 660 Direct CU II 2gb
Thermaltake Contac 30 cpu cooler
and a Antec 300 series case
also i have a corsair gs600 (600watt) powersupply

is it a driver problem or a hardware problem, and how do i fix it?
 
Solution

I would, your power supply is good enough to support it right? RMA it...

Try reinstalling the drivers in safe mode, You can enter it by hitting f8, now I don't see any bottlenecks on this system, Try reinstalling the motherboard drivers too, They might not be able to read your card, If these don't help, Try to return it, If its from newegg call them. Thats all the help I can tell you..

i reverted back to 314.22 from 320.18
but now im noticing a FPS drop in all games, some games drop 5-10, some drop 20-30
which is absolutely rediculous! im thinking i should just RMA it.
and get a different card.
