I'm not positive, but I think OCCT has GPU core and memory stability tests. You could try those as well to see if it is a stability issue. Maybe even try GPUTool's stability test. Watch your temps though.

temps are running at around 37 for my GPU but when playing games it runs at about 45!

Tried testing ram and it seems ok =/

This just confuses me lol

45 is nothing to worry about. If I remember right the GTX 260 can get up to 125C before you have to start really worrying. My GTX 260 OCed gets up to about 68C when I am stressing it.

So I guess that means you don't have another lying around to test it on?

Download OCCT and it has some GPU stress tests you can use.

I don't know how well they work, as I have never used them, but what the heck, it's worth a try.

Turns out they work really well. My OC of 746, 1200, 1530 was 2 hour GPUTool stable and it didn't even last 30 seconds on OCCT. I had to reduce it to 716, 1174, 1530 to get stable.

well if both tests passed then I dont think your video card is the problem. Does it do it in just that one game or does it do that in all of them?

EDIT: I just had a thought... Did it not do that during those tests? Because those tests should stress your card A LOT. I'm wondering if it is the game itself, maybe a corrupt file somewhere...

UPDATE:

I still havent found the problem after I wiped my computer and formatted all my hard drives. This problem still happens for all my games!

Before this happens, the game will freeze and only problem out of this to CTRL+ALT+DEL and then click cancel. The screen will flash black and then there is a 50/50 chance of this happening!
