I had to update my driver when battlefield 1 came out so I could play it. I updated to one of the geforce game ready 375 drivers from an older one. So around two weeks ago when I would Play World of warcraft my video driver started to crash and recover it only happened maybe once a day and I didn't think much of it.

I cleaned my computer out with a compressed air canister about 3 days ago and since then the crashes happened much more frequently. I thought maybe it was a driver issue. I updated to the most recent driver and it was happening every 5-15 minutes. I tried reinstalling the driver and nothing changed. I went to an older version (372.90) and now it happens probably every 30 ish. I'm really not sure whats going on. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

When I use GPU-z my temps stay around 70c. I have a gpu-z sensor log, but its long and I'm not sure what the best way to give you guys access to it would be. If you need any other information please ask. Thanks again.

My specs:
cpu: i5 4670k
GPU: EVGA geforce gtx 780

GPU-Z before and after crash http://

Edit: Just another incident that might be worth mentioning. I tried to play another game and after about 10 minutes or so the video driver crashed. This time both my screens went black and I heard a constant and repeating noise. I ended up having to power it off via the case.
 
Driver has failed and recovered.

This is almost always caused by poor/inadequate power supplies.

While i understand you've had the same PSU and had no issues - your card is now being used to play higher deamnd games, and power supplies do degrade over time.

You do not list your powersupply, but I would wager it is not a high quality brand, given your issue.
