Sounds like you got a dud.

GTX 285 Overclocking Issue
Just stepped up from a GTX 280 to a GTX 285. With the 280 I was able to get the GPU up to 675 and memory stable at 2400, shader was whatever it would be in sync with 675MHz

After installing the GTX 285 I of course went through and uninstalled the graphics drivers, ran Driver Cleaner Pro, and then reinstalled the drivers. At stock speeds everything runs fine as far as games and general CPU use. As soon as I make any type of overclock to the GPU, Shader or Memory the card will eventually crash in a game, usually within 2 minutes or less. I'm using eVGA's Precision Utility, have the fan speed to 55% which at idle keeps the card under 50C, and I have yet to see temps break 65C after successful gaming at stock speeds. The crash is essentially a short freeze of the game, monitor goes black, power light on the Monitor flashes for about 5 seconds, then comes back to a Blue Screen. With my GTX 280, when I overclocked the card too high in a game it would just freeze and I would have to reboot. I've tried both 182.06 & 182.08 driver sets. Any suggestions on what else I could try??

didnt get the same luck as you did the first time, or so it seems.
280 to 285 isnt really a stepup imo, yells unsatisfaction.
