Basically over the last week or so , my screen has been switching itself off and turning itself back on , if it manages to turn back on i get windows 7 stating it has recovered the driver but it still continues to do the same thing i was stable for around a week until now.
Computer completely custom built , built around a month ago , gfx card is about a year old now , temperatures seem very stable no overclocks on my system at all apart from the factory overclock that came with the card attempted to reduce the core speed and memory speed to its default value no change.
Done the usual virus scans just to make sure nothing has attached itself to my drivers , clean as a whistle , all i want to know is is my gpu dying and is my screen dying?

What do you mean by "plenty of drivers"?
Normally, there is only one correct driver.

Thats incorrect for one :/ There may be one driver that has more fixes than any other but more often than not a lot of older drivers tend to be more stable on older games and in my case i play older games.

Thats a list of more or less every driver released for windows vista/64/32 bit systems , the owner decides the stability by testing it in game.
Oh and just so you know i have tried the latest nvidia drivers , and they make things 100x worse.
