Solid color crash on GTX670

Hello all,
I have run into a problem with my system, whenever i play Guild Wars 2, only thing i play atm, when i use my oc profile on my GTX670 i get a crash of my system, where it shows a solid random color on both my screens, and i then have to restart the system. The funny thing is, i can run through Heaven 4.0 bench, no problem and FurMark same thing, they have both runned a whole night without crashing, but when i play it dies within 5min. Have read around on the interwebs, but everyone seems to have different solutions, so hoping maybe someone here can clarify why this is happening.
I have tried a complet clean install of drivers and all, and it's not a heat issue since its cooled by a full cover block, so the whole card is nice and cool. Also i don't get any warning that it's about to crash, its just bam and (insert random color) screen.
Also i ran several hours of both AIDA and prime stress on cpu, and also mentest to see if the problem was anything there, no crash whatsoever.
Running:
i5-3570k (oc removed as part of troubleshooting, so stock)
8gb Dominator Platinum
EVGA GTX670 (320.49 driver)
Corsair HX650

And some screens:

Could be great if someone could confirm if it could be a problem with Nvidias drivers or just the game in general.. Or something completely different.

Muddy out..
 
welcome to the OC3D forums,

only with the system overclocked you have this issue or stock as well?

one thing Tom stresses to members is memory defaults. XMP profile or manual
entry of voltage and timings fixes a lot of things.. but from there, you might try a
driver roll-back to cypher if it is a driver issue.. next would be to verify PSU voltage
to GPU especially during gameplay as that seems to be the hotspot for failure.
synthetics are a percentage of actual real-world scenario loads.

would there be a patch for your game
 
Had same problem at stock when i was just finish with putting together my watercooling, thougth it was maybe a shortout from the block, but made a refit and then i found out my other psu was going, died hours after, and could see from my volts that it had been delievering to much current. So switched to my backup and could see that changed the volts down to more normal levels, the volts on gpu is 1.175 under load which is normal from what i have read?
My ram is running the xmp profil, thought about that when putting my cpu back to stock, to be sure it wasnt there the problem was, actually flashed the whole bios back to standard.
For the driver part i removed everything, found a guide on where hidden folders and regkeys where place so removed everything then a restart before reinstalling the driver again.
Since Guild Wars 2 is an mmo i have to wait for them to release patches, sadly not much i can do there, but could it be the game itself making problems? Since there is no different in clocks or volts either when i play or run a benchmark, so its confusing my quite a bit, or could there be a part of the graphiccard that took damage when the psu died? And just that part is being accessed when gaming? Even tho the game put almost the same stress on the card as a benchmark?
