Try older drivers, check your connection, switch DVI ports, monitor temps (make sure Vram is not over heating) Close out of all unnecessary programs including fps monitors, antivirus.

If this card is new, then it might be a defect. If not, try the small things first and before you re-install windows try the card in a different rig.
