Are factory OC'ed cards reliable?

I have 2 that broke in a row 1st a ASUS 7900GT Top and now a MSI 8800GTS 640MB OC. Error message in Vista: "display driver has stopped responding and has recovered" (in game blank screen / no signal on LCD / CRT seems to degauss) and in XP the PC freezes and blue-screens.

I am curious, how many of these factory OC'ed cards

It may be an issue with cards from ASUS or MSI as I have had factory OC'd cards from both BFG and EVGA and did not experience any issues with either. Actually, I was able to further OC each of the cards. I currently have an EVGA 7900GT CO Superclocked (OC'd at factory to 550/1580 and then to my OC of 575/1600) for about two years now with no problems at all.

I highly recommend EVGA products and will probably continue to buy them exclusively unless HIS comes out with something really tasty from ATI/AMD.

Are you sure it's not a Vista? driver issue?
