Try downclocking your core clock. You can do it using MSI Afterburner. If that doesn't work, either your card is overheating or it's dying.
You can also try doing a complete uninstall of the driver (which means also deleting all files related to Nvdia found in your hdd and registry) and then reinstalling only the graphics driver and the Physix driver.
There might be an issue with the IRQ priorities. If you have a dedicated sound card on board, it might be conflicting with the HD audio driver that is usually installed along with the graphics driver.

NOT TRUE. and Jinnrou, once you have 30 years of experience working on computers, and custom building gaming rigs, then by all means, I will have a little more respect for your train of thought as to what is dying.
Downclocking was suggested on page 4 of this entire forum, basically day 1 of release in the US... and has had no substancial impact on performance. Yes, the game doesn't do well with factory OC'd cards. period.
it just furthers the premise that the game needs to be re-coded for better performance and stability across all platforms.

all of the issues that people are having across all platforms with performance and crashes, is due to coding errors in the game which cannot be fixed by the end-user.
however, if you set your system to output the audio,
to 24 bit, stereo, 44.1 KHZ,
and the ingame audio settings to stereo/headphones
it does help with a minor increase to stability......
downclocking only gives a little more stability (with this game) as (once again) it IS A CODING ISSUE WITH THE GAME THAT CANNOT BE FIXED BY THE END USER!
