As of about ~2 days ago, my graphics drivers (335.23) have begun repeatedly crashing when doing most things, such as browsing the internet using Google Chrome, as well as when gaming (playing games such as Counter Strike: Global Offensive and Robocraft in Fullscreen and Windowed, respectively). So far I've tried using an older set of drivers (334.89) as well as the beta drivers (337.50) but both of these drivers have also crashed. I've also done clean installs, and uninstalled all drivers (and subsequently reinstalled them), but this has not fixed the issue.
When the drivers crash, often sound loops and the screen goes pitch black.

Current specs:
CPU: i5-2500K
Motherboard: GA-Z68XP-UD3
RAM: 2x 4GB G.Skill RIPJAWS X 1600Mhz
PSU: Thermaltake TR2-800AH2NFB
Storage: 64GB Crucial M4 64GB SSD
ST1000DM003-1CH162 1TB HDD (Seagate)
ST31000524AS 1TB HDD (Seagate)
GPU: MSI N760-TF-2GD5OC 2G GTX760 TwinFrozr
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate

sounds like there may be a bad OC to the card. If you have added more of an OC to teh card remove it and try again. If you have not OCed teh card try removing the OC from the factory and try again. next if this does not help run OCCT's GPU test with error checking enabled and if it errors then the card is bad.

follow these steps in this order to find out.

The GPU is often at about 25-30 degrees Celsius (77-86 F) and reaches temperatures of around 60-70 degrees if under full load, so temperature doesn't appear to be a problem. I'll try testing using onboard graphics card as well as an old 560 Ti I've got lying around.

Underclocking by about 50Mhz for the core clock (shader clock being linked) and 100Mhz for the memory clock stopped most crashes in CS:GO, except for a large number of crashes when joining a match, although those may be related to the game itself (alt+tabbing causes a lot of problems)

[strike]Never mind about the underclocking working, directly after I posted that the screen blacked out and the computer hung. I'll try using the 560 Ti and if that works I'll replace the 760 :/[/strike]

[strike]
Further testing with a different monitor suggests that my old monitor may have been the problem, although I'm testing with OCCT now.[/strike]

Graphics card is probably the problem (still crashes on this monitor)
