    I'm getting some instability with my gt540m on farcry3 and my temps will be at 60C continuously and for some reason it crashes after 20 minutes or so with no artifacts? I used to be able to run 800Mhz on battlefield 3 on stock voltages and it was stable. Now I get instability and crashing on farcry3 at 750Mhz... I clocked the cpu back to 2Ghz from it's stock 2.2Ghz 2720qm speeds and the cpu is cool at 60C and the GPU is at 60C...

    Evga EVTune allows voltage adjustment but it does't stick...

    The bios will not support voltage control through software. As cards are run hard or games using new features come out the maximum overclock will drop.

    First step is [nearly always] to reinstall/update video drivers. When the game crashes, are you getting any error codes? Or does it simply exit out or freeze?
