Default BSOD whilst playing FEAR

Ok, well this has been happening for quite a while, but I haven't tried playing this game with the updated drivers I have yet. So I open up some diagnostics programs to run in the bg on my 2nd monitor to keep track of temps while I play. Temps on the card go up from 42 (idle) to 55 (load), which is normal for me; happens on all of my games. CPU was also cool, around 39-41 throughout. It plays just fine for about 15 minutes tops, then it suddenly locks up. I have WMP playing in the bg, and the audio is still playing fine on that. If I wait about 30 seconds, the audio starts to loop, then if I wait a few seconds longer (hoping it'll simply come out of its freeze), I get a BSOD, error code: 0x000000EA for NV4disp.dll, I believe it is. It starts to then do a memory dump. Googled it,and saw an article in M$'s KB about it, and it just said to update drivers to the newest ones. This has only been happening with my new card (my 8800GT from veedub, OC'd to 730/1000), but it never happened with my 8800GTS 320, which was OC'd as well. Funny thing is, I tried downclocking it back to stock, and it still goes. FEAR is the only game it does this to. I can play Crysis with a Very High hack for hours on end, and it does just fine. Anybody got any ideas on what could be the problem?
