the latest driver and have completely removed and re-installed the
driver with no change. I have no idea how to troubleshoot this as I am
getting no other error messages. Any suggestions?


The failures here, seem to fit two themes.

Failures while gaming, stability improves if the
factory overclock is removed. One link off this page
suggests MSI Afterburner as a tool.

At the other end of the spectrum, is idle performance.
At one time, video cards had just two performance levels,
and peak to idle power ratios of 2:1 or so. It's possible
a modern video card has more power states than that. Video
cards can drop to 3W, which is barely enough to keep the
RAM on the card powered.

If that was the case, you would want to find a way to stop
the card from entering the lowest power state. Or change
the frequency or voltage settings associated with that state.
While this particular control doesn't have any options, you
might try fiddling with this.

I forgot to mention that I had the same problem with my GT640 so
upgraded to the 750 but did not solve the problem. I briefly tested an
AMD card and had no problems with it.
