Well, I like many other are having random reboots of our computers. Some say it is because of temperature on the gpu suddenly goes to 120 witch cause a reboot.
Anyone have the same issue and found a fix? This only happened 2 times tho so seem to be random.

I do, anyway since this will prolly be moved, i would log your GPU and see what happens before the crash.

Make sure vsync is enabled. That way your card isn't working in overdrive to render the scene as quickly as possible (which was the reason SC2 burned so many cards) It's a ridiculous hint to be sure - but you'd be surprised how many people don't use it.

A OSD overlay via MSI Afterburner or whatever is available would shed some light on what's going on, perhaps you should enable VSync?
(Nice as the game artwork can be the game isn't really demanding aside from those shadows and maybe a bit of physics - not that there is much else to adjust though - so a really high framerate is mostly guaranteed on current generation PC hardware.)
EDIT: Oh it was explained already, nice!
EDIT: Right, game also has a framerate cap, I'm using 120 (60 is out, would be nice with 120hz being standard but it's probably a few years off for current monitor technology, wouldn't mind that though.) for when it's in-focus (Active window, being played.) and 30 when it's out of focus (alt-tab or what it might be, maybe windowed mode as well.)

The fuck is this? "PC Games - Technical" - what you think that's about? No need for another D3 thread.

Some quick searches revealed people having issues with those drivers and the 560 GPU but there's not enough to say it's a real issue and not some isolate problems on their machines, will see what else I could find.
(295.73 was recommended one time.)
EDIT: There is a confirmed issue with hardware accelerated video playback but it might just be for Flash.
