X51-R2, Latest supported driver for GTX670?
Hey,
I bought the latest X51-R2 three weeks ago with GTX 670 2G. However I have been getting random GPU crashes and machine rebooting, sometimes even when trying to log in windows 7. The symptom is that the screen suddenly turns black, and at the same time the fan starts blowing at 100% and then shortly the machine automatically restarts itself. I monitor the GPU's temperature and the highest is around 80C on full load. Also, once the GPU driver crashes, it tends to crash a lot on the same day. I'm trying to decide whether it is a software problem or a hardware one. So I want to confirm the following, what is the latest officially supported driver version for X51 GTX670? Should it be safe to upgrade to this version? Also, does anyone have any ideas on what could be wrong? Thanks!

Lijie,
You can load the retail 9/19/13 327.23 WHQL driver and test it. If it does not fix the issue, roll back to our 6/6/13 311.06 driver.

I'm pretty sure it is a hardware issue now. Even with the 311.06 driver, it still crashes randomly.
