I've been using Nvidia's GTX 680 for a couple of months without problem now. But for some reason whenever I play Battlefield 4 on a large map, after a few minutes the driver will crash and recover 2 seconds later, still resulting in the game crashing. Games that are less graphically expensive don't have this problem.
A look at GPU-Z tell me that the temperature is around 40°. I'm also using the newest Nvidia drivers and tried a complete clean reinstall, but the problem persists.

Does anyone have a clue why this is happening ?
