There you have it then :\ ..
As a final test before you rush out and get a new PSU.
You can take your card and stress it on a friends PC, one with a capable PSU,
and see if it freezes / bug checks again.
BSoD playing majority of games Kernal_Data_Inpage_Error e.g.BF3/Skyrim

Is there possibly a stress test less intensive than Furmark I could test? (just trying to think of other ways to diagnose and stuff)
Like, how do we know the games etc. I run are as intensive as Furmark is? D: because I last less than a minute on furmark but have previously been able to play games for hours :s

Games (98% of them) are not as intensive as Furmark that is the exact point of it much like Prime95.
you can maybe try and run at a lower resolution but I don't consider that a good representation.

I've never heard of the nVidia software to be honest, and judging by the links above the "Compliance Analyzer"
I don't it's for Windows 7.
Can you link to where you read about nVidia not liking Furmark?

ahaha okay, well I'm seeing about borrowing a PSU etc. and I will see if I can test the GPU in a friends system tomorrow =]
The system bottled on the ocscanner from EVGA too so yeah, you hit a goldmine with your assumption its the PSU/GPU XD

I'm leaning towards the the PSU more at the moment to be frank.
As for the bug checks I believe it's a combination of both the faulty PSU and the XBOX driver
which is a know BSOD cause, seeing how the bug checks stopped immediately after you stopped using it.
Thanks for the added info :), keep us informed.
