PROBLEMS!
General Background Information:
Alright so, about 1-4 days after the build, everything had been running fine, no problems through build and installing vista and other programs. Around Day 3-4 i started having Blue Screens
Driver_IQRL_Not_Less_Or_Equal
That was the usually message...
1. First thing, when i finished the build, i put in the CD that came with the video card. According to my friend, he said if the drivers work how they are, no point in updating. So i hadn't updated or anything. So first thing i tried, was go to the EVGA website and update to the latest and greatest drivers. Updated the drivers completely and then rebooted. Started up a game and about half an hour to and hour after starting, crashed to the same Blue Screen
2. The problems continued and in-fact got a little bit worse, when playing a more graphic extensive game such as Call of Duty 4, or Grand Theft Auto 4, it would last about 5 to 10 minutes and then crash to the BSOD. Next thing i tried was uninstall the video driver, and update/reinstall via the EVGA website. Reboot, and problem continues after a little bit of gaming
3. The day before yesterday, i was looking at the EVGA Precision tool, that installed when i got the card, and i noticed for some odd reason, when i booted the PC, the Core, Shader, and Memory clock would start at the correct Core = 675, etc... and then slowly decline to Core = 301, Shader = 601, Memory = 100. Is this a setting to save power or something? Maybe i accidentally messed up a setting when looking through the Precision tool? Or is the card messed up
4. I also installed ATI Tool and ran an artifacting test, it got to about 2 minutes 23 seconds, and it got a
"Driver Error and could not complete the test" So i hit restart test and it got to about 30 seconds and crashed to BSOD, same error
5. So i called the EVGA support which i might add is extremely helpful, and they said it might be the card is messed up or a software problem and that i might have to send the card back to Newegg to get a new one. However hopefully i can get the problem fixed before i have to do that
6. So I've been doing more research into the "Driver_IQRL_Not_Less_Or_Equal" error, and found that it might actually be a Memory or Hard Drive issue. I installed MemTest86, however when putting the "Image" onto the CD to run it, i would boot and the CD would run. Any ideas? Or maybe recommend a different Memory/RAM tester and a Hard Drive tester?
Here's two of the sites I've done some of the research on:

7. Today i came home and resumed my research on the problem, someone recommended to try updating to the newest Vista Service Pack 2, and i noticed under the Windows Auto Update, the was a "nVidia Display something something" under the optional, so i installed that rebooted and started a 3D Mark Vantage test to see if the problem was fixed. I set it to loop 3 times, and it got to the 2nd loop, and about half way through once again it crashed to a BSOD with the same error, however this is the farthest it had ever gotten since i started having the BSOD, i rebooted and tried running it again and it crashed at almost the exact same spot...
