Hi, these are my system specs:

-Maximus V gene
-Core i7 3770K
-16 gb Corsair Vengeance 1600mhz ddr3 ram
-750 watt PSU Antect TruPower Blue
-Asus GTX680 dc2t
-OCZ Vertex 4 256gb SSD

I'm running on Windows 7 Professional 64bit

So my problem is that games like Crysis 1, 2 and Battlefield 3 get's a black screen after a few minutes of playing. But you can still hear the game audio. I litterly tried everything to solve this problem like reinstallig drivers, reinstalling OS, Changing settings, but nothing seems to work except for downclocking my GPU. The standard clock frequency does not work. I hope some of you can help me out.

Here is what I would do.

Boot into SAFE mode.
Un-install the nVid drivers and clean up the registry of all the orphans entries that get left behind.
Reset and install the latest WHQL drivers for your graphic card.

Then install the latest version of DirectX and you should be good to go.

If the problem continues please think about changing your cable, it is often a cause of much video heart ache.
To help us help you - please provide as much information about your system and the problem as possible.

Deleted driver, cleaned Registry, Reinstalled, changed cable, but I still have the error.. Also tried my friends EVGA GTX 580 and I still got the same error.. and yes I use GPU Tweak.

I am using an old Acer X223W Q, 1680x 1050 resolution, Connected it with a DVI to VGA converter from my old EVGA card. It's a VGA monitor.

But how? My PSU is sufficient enough to power the GPU I have, it only needs 550 watt and my PSU is 750 watt.

Yes i know, i mean maybe it is faulty. Have you tested your system that it is stable prime95, or another stress programs? You havent had any BSOD's havent you at idle etc?

No, I did not had any BSOD's. I'm using this Prime95 program (I don't know what it is really) but it seems to work without any problems. Also I wanted to note that less GPU demanding games like GTA IV and Fallout 3 Work without any problems.
