Hello, I am very happy with my GTX460, it is a splendid card and has served me for a while.
I OCed my card a while back and did not experience any issues until now,
I think the reason for this is that I started playing more GPU intensive games (Witcher 2, Battlefield 4, etc).
I have detected the problem and haven't been able to solve it or find anything about this matter anywhere.
I use MSI Afterburner for my OC, for some reason the OC or something else is making the drivers crash, and when they do, it resets the clocks to HALF of the OC, (which are lower than my stock clocks) therefor results in a massive fps drop.
If I go back to Afterburner and try to apply the OC again after it happens, it does not work, and the only way to reapply the OC or even go to stock clocks is to restart the PC altogether.

As you can see in the stock and OC caps, the clocks are seriously under the OC and stock settings, and before you ask, the temps don't go beyond 70c.
Please help me, I had this problem for a while and just recently discovered what causes it, but the lack of answers is frustrating.
