980Ti driver crashes at stock clocks

I got a MSI Gaming 6G 980Ti and it keeps getting the 'Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered' notification. I've been (trying to) play GTA 5 mostly and it crashes about once every half hour, I'm not sure about other games but it did also crash in BFBC2 at stock clocks. Also crashes all the time in Project Cars. Crashed in 3DMark too alot, but I can't remember if it was overclocked at the time. The system is:

Intel 3570K
Asrock Extreme 4 Z77
Samsung 840 1TB
16GB Corsair XMS3
Seasonic Fanless Platinum 520W
Windows 7

I've tried putting the 980Ti in a system which usually has:

Intel 4590
MSI H81M-E34
Seagate 1TB 7200RPM
8GB Corsair Vengence
Silverstone Strider Essential 600W
R9290 Sapphire Tri-X
Windows 7

...and it played games for hours on end without issue, never crashed once.

Equally, I took the R9290 out of that system and put it in the one I'm trying to make work with the 980Ti, and it works 100% fine. I thought it may have been a power issue (even though the 290 uses about the same), so I've now taken the Silverstone 600W PSU out of the working system and put it in the other one, and still that's done absolutely nothing at all to help. The system also works 100% fine with a 760, and had a 780 in it beforehand which was also overclocked pretty high and it worked fine.

I've also tried resetting my CPU overclocks, reinstalling Windows, cleaning all the drivers and reinstalling them, validating game files etc. The usual generic fixes. Nothing works, the card isn't overclocked or anything and it still crashes.

Using Afterburner to monitor the card, not overclocking it or anything, it says the core clock was 1342 at its highest, and memory was 3506 at its highest. I've even tried downclocking the card as far as it would let me, and putting the power cap to 54%, and it still crashes.

These are my CPU and memory settings if they are any use.

Tried chaning XMP profile to 1 and that also did nothing. Why does the card seem to work without issue in one computer but not in the one I want it to?

Thanks.
 

Sadly not, it says the firmware is up to date and doesn't do anything when I try to do an internet flash from inside the BIOS.

Are there any BIOS settings that could be messing with it?
 
I have had that issue twice with AMD cards and in both cases it was failing Vram on the cards. It was obvious on the first one that suddenly started doing that after 18 months of use but the second one was HD7950 and I struggled with it for 3 months until I did RMA on it and the replacement no issue.
Come to think of it your issue is similar to the second one, sometimes fine then suddenly frequent crashes.
 
Well I got an email back from Scan this morning about it and I'll see what they say. If I can fix my problem without an RMA, then grand, Scan RMA's have been a bit of a headache for me in the past, I sent back an i3 once that was completely dead, and they sent it back to me saying it worked just fine, and when I get it back obviously it still doesn't work, RMA it a second time and they just accept it was dead and gave a refund.
