    I have a GTX 285M and it runs GREAT most the time, but sometimes when playing Crysis 2 it glitches for a second and then all of sudden my framerates drop to about 1 third of what they should be I go from 45-60fps to 15-20 and stays there... And the weird thing is after I exit the game it still happens - unless I reboot. This happened in the demo, but I figured it was a bug. It is happening in the Game now too.

    Is the card de-rating somehow? how can I fix it besides a reboot? My temps are fine - hottest it ever gets is 74c when overclocked heavily (700/1100/1725). I noticed it WILL stop doing this when I return the GPUs to stock clocks, but this happens in no other game with my OC settings.

    Using the newest drivers 267.24 Beta, but it also happens with 266.58
