New drivers causing problems?

I installed the latest NVidia 163.75 drivers on my computer and now when I play Kane and Lynch my computer will periodically see system reboots. I was playing this game on year old drivers and over 1/2 way through the game I decided to update my drivers to see if I get a little better performance. Now I can't get past the last mission because my computer is rebooting. When I play I will notice sometimes a blue screen with some strange errors (BSOD?) then quickly reboots. I OC'ed my system and thought that was the problem but I reset all of my settings and still have the problem. The only thing I can think of is the new driver causing this. Is it possible or just a coincidence that something else is failing on me?
 
Not a coincidence I had problems with 163.75 and my old 7800gt, I would revert back to the older driver and see if it works again or try some of the betas
 
For future reference you can just use

nvidia.com/object/winxp_169.02.html

and fill in the _xxx.xx.html for what ever driver version you want and it'll take you to the download page

EDIT: nvm that just works with current drivers, nvidia takes down old ones, use guru3d
 
Thanks for the help. I am using 162.50 and have no problems. I am going to increase my OC settings again!
