Also make sure that the BIOS is properly updated and the settings are adjusted for your new card. Overclocking can cause issues as well.

Another thing is make sure your card is properly vented and cooled during operation as overheating can also cause it to fail.  If the Updated Drivers are causing problems consider using an older set of Drivers.  Make sure there are no Residual Drivers from the Previous Graphic Card installation to interfere with the new Card.
