Will increasing voltage increase stability.

My computer is constantly crashing from video card problems. Can I up the voltage to fix the problem?
 
Would increasing CPU voltage possibly help video card problems? Ive tried all the drivers i can get ahold of and my card still crashes. I dont know what to do.

No, I meant they are the only settings that can help, but they only affect their respective device.
 
==> If you are overclocking your CPU, increasing voltage will help stability.

==> If you are overclocking your graphics card, increasing the GPU core and GPU RAM frequency can increase stability. For high-end ATI cards you can do it with ATI-Tool. For Nvidia cards, I belive you have to flash the video card bios. The other option is the physically mod the card.

Note that increasing voltages will result in significantly more heat.
 
Take the side of your case off and direct a desk fan with the air blowing directly onto your video card. See if the problem goes away.

More than likely you have a heat problem.

As mentioned above, increasing voltages might increase stability if you are overclocking but the best solution is to reduce your overclock to a stable setting, if you are overclocking. Then look at solutions to eliminate the heat issue. Once that is done you can then look again at increasing your overclock or start overclocking for better performance.
