I have the weirdest problem. My GTX470 will make my pc crash and there's no way to recover other than hard rebooting. The weird thing is that this NEVER happens when I'm playing games, thus intensely using the gpu. It only happens when using the pc in desktop 2D mode. I've noticed it likes to happen more often when watching youtube videos, other times it's totally randomly: using Word, or just iTunes. This makes me think it can't be overheating or lack of airflow in my tower, given that under stress in benchmarks/games I've never had any problems (same for my old gtx260).
I believe this is only a driver issue that Nvidia has yet to resolve, but I though I would check with you guys, who know much more than I can ever dream of, should I be worried about my card or patient for driver updates?
Btw, my setup is basically:
Windows 7 x64
Corsair 850W
Amd Phenom 9950 BE
Asus m3n72-d mainboard
4gb RAM
Intel 80gb SSD + 500gb HDD
