I'm not really sure whats going on here, and this is probably either something I'm doing wrong or an issue with my graphics card, but maybe someone can help me with this.

Today I started up the game and within a minute my graphics card proceeds to shit itself . One of 3 things will happen: My computer will freeze completely forcing me to hard restart, the screen will black out (Not sure if its freezing here as well but the music stops and it seems as though I'm unable to do anything), or the screen will black out and a few seconds later it will come back and I get an error that says "Your display driver has stopped working but recovered", but then it will proceed to either black out permanently or freeze again no more than a minute later.

My card is a Nvidia 560 Ti and it hasn't given me too many problems since I got it. I've actually been getting the occasional "Your display driver has stopped working but recovered" error for maybe 2 weeks now but I kind of ignored it because it happened so rarely.

I have tried uninstalling the card and using different driver versions, but still the problem persists. Thats the extent of my limited tech knowledge. Does anyone have any idea as to a solution or whats causing the problem? I really hope my graphics card isn't dying.
