Dear friends,
...and yes this is a serious cry for help.
My pc.
Asus M5a75 lx motherboard
Amd fx 6300
8 gb Ram
Corsair tx650
Evga gtx 460 1gb
1 tb hdd

I have two OS on.my rig..Win 7 and win 8. I stress tested my gpu on windows 8 using the stock driver ( 266.58) and it ran flawlessy.( i did the Burn in Benchmark,15 minutes). Temps were 81c max and the PC was very stable.

I then ran the same test on windows 7 with the stock driver and about 2 minutes into the test the pc locks up. Mouse and keyboard just cuts off clean and the only way to get out of this is to hit the reset button. The temps in win7 were 83c max.
I tried everything. I even left the side of the pc open to enhance airflow.
Can anyone tell me why its giving me this problem in win7 and not win8.

Sorry for such a lenghty description but i really need help.
Please you guys. Much thanks.
