No Overclocking. The latest Nvidia Drivers are installed. Yes when im Mining I dont have any Problems after Mining a whole day everything works perfect but when I stop the Mining it makes my System hang up and i cant do anything.

I had that problem with my old gtx260. However once I swapped it with my new ATI 6950, the problem went away. It seems like it's an issue with the card itself and not any settings. I had to restart my PC whenever it froze before.
