Damn, I found it is "fan" related. Setting it @85% let me to go last test (with freeze ).

Is my GTX580 damn bad or do I have a temp. problem?

This is the screenshot from NVIDIA Inspector:




I think I have found the reason. @1.05V as in the screenshot it goes @95°C after 5 min. of stress test.

So the question is: is the stock cooler so bad?
max fan? could be the stock cooler

every gtx580 stock cooler performs differently

try an aftermarket cooler or rma the card

up to you.. good luck
