Alright guys apparently Nvidia has pulled the 196.75 driver because of reports of the fan controller not doing it's job leading to overheating chips and in some cases GPU DEATH.

So everyone who upgraded their drivers go back and roll them back to the previous ones and you should be alright.

I'm gonna let it ride, as much folding as I've done lately running it at 100% load for days at a time, it would have failed already if it was going to fail. Plus my temps are normal.
