I just recently got a Evga GeForce GTX 660 Super clocked. Whenever I go into a game I can only play it for about 5 minutes before my computer crashes. When I turned down the power target and memory offset, along with turning down the settings in games I was able to play them trouble free for a few days. Then it started crashing again and I can't play any games with it. How do I fix this?
 
check the voltage when under load. I had a problem similar with my 660, i found it was only in crysis 2 and 3, underclocking helped. But what fixed this was forcing a constant clock with nvidia inspector. It also fixed an issue where my clock speed would drop to 500mhz and wouldn't come back up till reboot. heres how to do it:

I also found that since i have had my second card in SLI, i have not had the issue without forcing constant clock, but also the clock speed doesnt fluctuate like it used to, maybe SLI locks it to alleviate uneven frame rendering. Also noticed that my secondary card runs a few mhz higher than the primary for some reason, despite being identical cards.

This sounds like a bios problem. Have you talked to evga? There is something wrong with the clocks and voltages in my opinion. Check to see if there is a firmware update.
