I am at wits end here.
I have had Windows 7 for years with no issues on this card, whole system is less than 2 years old.
I am running this:

Now, I recently upgraded to Windows 8. I had no problems with this computer, in fact, I can still use it for normal use. But when I try to play a game, or run a stress test on the GPU, the system just completely shuts down and reboots.
First thoughts:
So my question is....is this Windows 8 that is causing this, or is it just bad timing that my card fails after I upgrade to Windows 8?
I really really really dont want to spend another $350 on a GTX680, so I am hoping for the sake of all that is Holy that there is something I can do.
Second thoughts:
What can you all help me with here? Anyone know of a possible solution?

First thoughts:
I was overclocked to 4.3Ghz on my CPU, I disabled that.....no joy
I was overclocked on my GPU to 130%, disabled that......no joy
I upgraded to the BETA drivers from nVidia's website.....no joy
I uninstalled graphics drivers and attempted to reinstall them.....computer would not let me reinstall them, would just reboot and show the previous drivers.....no joy
I can reboot into safe mode no problem, computer runs fine.
I completely removed card from system, inspected for damage (None Found), dusted PC,
booted with GPU on motherboard (Intel HD4000) and computer ran fine, so did games (albeit at a REALLY low frame rate)....
Used DriverSweep to completely uninstall drivers, reinstalled card.....Successfully was able to install drivers (Latest according to GeForce Xperience app).......ran game for 10 minutes and it crashed.....
Ran stress test using MSI Kombuster for 30 minutes before it crashed, temps and voltage all within regulation.
Have 5 system fans, computer never gets above 100F even with games.
Ran "WhoCrashed" and every single time, it says that nvlddmkm.sys is to blame.....
So my question is....is this Windows 8 that is causing this, or is it just bad timing that my card fails after I upgrade to Windows 8?
I really really really dont want to spend another $350 on a GTX680, so I am hoping for the sake of all that is Holy that there is something I can do.
Second thoughts:
Install Ubuntu and see if the card works there.
Buy a second card and see if it works, if it does then I know it was the card....possibly return bad card to nVidia
What can you all help me with here? Anyone know of a possible solution?
