Hi 
So apparently my NVIDIA EVA GTX 580 crashes from time to time while playing games.....
If I'm lucky enough and I tab out fast enough I can close my game, my computer stays alive for awhile before crashing again with completely no GPU stress on it (on my desktop). Sometimes, I can go an entire day without having it crash once, on other (unlucky) days it crashes even on boot up and I can't even reach the login page of my computer..
What I've tried :
-Cleaning my fans ( little to no dust on my CPU, GPU, Core fans )
-Using MSI Afterburner to increase my fan speed
-Increasing my GPU voltage (No idea why, apparently some people said it worked)
-Messing around with my BIOS (completely messed up my computer, don't really want to touch it again)
-Googling the problem online (people have reported the same issue, have no idea what to do as well)
-Updating my driver
-Reinstalling my driver
-Using 3D Mark 11
I'm using Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600K CPU @3.40GHz , PSU at 900W, Windows 7 OS
What happens whenever my computer crashes (watched it on MSI Afterburner seconds before I crash) :
My GPU usage hovers at around 70% (when in-game) while the Temperature hovers at about 80+ Celsius, before the temperature falls to 0 and jumping back up again to 70+ Celsius when the computer restores. Sometimes sound looping occurs, sometimes I can still chat with my friends on Skype while facing a black screen.
Current driver version is 347.09.
If anyone has any advice on how to prevent my GPU from having erratic and random crashes, that would be great.
I apologise if some vital information is left out, please do instruct and teach me how to find it because I'm not very computer literate..
Thank you all for your time.
