Only issue is I purchased the review sample from here and I doubt it has any type of warranty.

It wasn't even being stressed when it started failing.. I left my PC running Folding@Home while I was away for a couple of weeks, and noticed it stopped crunching units. When I came back, it would just keep rebooting after it hit the desktop.

Give it a forced downclock and see if it loads up.

if its a review unit, drop SKYMTL a PM.

That doesn't sound like a card issue since the card is not loaded when booting into windows. Sounds like driver issues.

Very odd. I installed the latest drivers and it didn't help, but I left it off for a full night and it's working again!

That being said, I had not given it a cold boot during the period when it was crashing: On for many weeks Folding while away, come home to see it crashing, reboot to crashing, reboot to safe mode uninstall drivers, reboot install drivers, reboot to crashing.

Power off for 20 hours or so, power on and no issue! Woohoo! :D

Looks like it's an unstable OC :( I tried playing Crysis 2 and it keeps crashing on me until I underclocked it to 950 MHz.
Did a bit of searching and it seems Gigabyte no longer sells the 1GHz version either, and has replaced it with a 950 MHz version.

Going to try bumping it up higher until it starts crashing.

What are your temps on the 822mhz version of the 560? I'm seeing 27-30 idle at 18c ambient. peaks seem to be in the 60s, but have to confirm.

That seems to be fairly on par. I'm running slightly lower than that at idle and I'm topping out at 55-56 after 48 hours of folding.
