Thanks for the tip Brawler. It worked... did not have one crash last night. I even set everything to HIGH on video settings and it ran smoothly.
So anybody having issues with their 560ti's, do a BIOS update. It worked for me!
Problem is the EVGA website for my 560ti doesn't list BIOS driver updates... so what do I do now?
I'm presently awaiting a new shipment of Corsair Vengeance 2x4gig ram
