Alright, so my graphics drivers have been crashing randomly for some time now. It happens whether I'm browsing the web, playing games or just idling on my desktop. No system resets, BSOD, etc., just a black screen and an alert that the driver has recovered. Sometimes it'll go for days without crashing, other times it'll happen a couple of times in one day. I haven't done any overclocking, all of my BIOS settings check out and temps are normal across the board.
My current setup is:
Intel Q6600 2.4GHz
EVGA GTX 470
Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L
4GB OCZ Reaper DDR2-800
Corsair TX750 750W
I've tried:
As the title says, I'm running out of ideas here. I can't think of anything else besides RMA'ing the PSU and since that'll leave me without a PC for a few weeks, I'd like to get others' opinions first.

I've tried:
- Countless different driver versions, clean installs each time (following BradleyW's guide).
- 285.62
- 295.73
- 301.42
- A clean install of Windows (after swapping hardware ↓).
- Swapped CPU and motherboard, previously suspecting my old Phenom II X3 720 and Gigabyte MA-790X-UD4P to be the problem.
- Tried both PCI-e slots on the UD4P.
- 12 hours of Memtest86+, no errors.
- Raised GPU voltages a bit.
- RMA’d the GTX 470, swapped to a GTX 460 768MB; same problem with the old 470, new 470 and the 460.
