gtx560 problem

Yesterday I found out that my card is standardly at an underclock.
Obviously I put it back to factory defaults, but then this weird thing happens. I can play a game for as long as I want, as graphically intense as it gets, but when I quit the game and start browsing or something similarly low on resources, my screen goes black after a few minutes and I have to reboot the whole system. I still hear my cpu, harddisk and all, like my system is still fully operational, but somehow the screen just goes black.
Then, when I reset my system the settings are back to underclock.
What could be the problem? I've got myself a new 80+ certified PSU @ 600W a few weeks ago, so that shouldn't be it.
Rig:
Mobo: ASUS P7H456D-V EVO
CPU: Intel i3 540 @ 3.07ghz
PSU: ModXstream-pro 600W
Mem: 2x 2GB DDR3 @ 560
Edit: This seems to have fixed it: http://whattodo-jiangchen.blogspot.com/2010/05/disable-nvidia-powermizer-updated.html
I'm not completely sure, but it seems like the crashes are gone!! :>

powerplay is how its called with ATI, dunno how its called for nvidia. carefull with this shit, I accidently forgot to close two other games (which are forced to 30FPS no matter what) while playing ET pub. After an hour or so my vid card started to smell, think the vid card hit 70 degrees ... so dont overclock, my default clocks are 1150/700 and it scales back to 300/150 if i dont manually edit the config files. You dont want to be in the overclock settings, even when I oc'd the card to 1335/825 it would still scale back to 300/150 whenever it felt like saving power. Powerplay will give you three levels of powerconsumption, just put all three to default (1150/700 for me) so no matter what the vid card will always run at full speed. google it yourself for nvidia
thx in advance!
