Perhaps somebody can throw a few ideas out on this little problem. The rig is a 2500K/GTX580 setup. Traditional stress-tests (prime/IBT/Benchmarks/etc) are have always been rock solid.
Lately, I've been getting occasional display driver failures while gaming. The kind that show up the event logs as a 4101 with the "Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered" message. I've seen this before, but the culprits in the past were overclocking and overheating issues. This card is factory clocked and according to Afterburner, temps barely even break 70c under full load.
The only notable thing that I can find is that when it happens, every time, vRam usage briefly spikes to 2GB (which is impressive, since it's a 1.5GB card). But I can't find anything else meaningful. Any other areas I could look at, or programs that might identify a problem area?
