    My old GTX 460m was stable with the latest 310 nVidia drivers.

    If it is just the drivers, be sure to do a clean uninstall using CCleaner, Driver Sweeper etc.

    Good to hear. I actually thought the 460m was a great card and I found it stable to overclock to 800/1600 that generally meant a few extra frames per second in 2011 games on high settings.

    Try MSI afterburner for overclocking if you haven't already.
