I've always uninstalled the Driver in Device Manager and installed the new one.   I have never had a problem in 11 years on any PC.  Driver Cleaner Pro does not provide the # of the driver, so if you have an NVIDIA Northbridge (at least a year or so ago, when I tried it once), good luck in picking the right one.   I promptly uninstalled DCP and did what I have always done.

196.21 here and no problems on my G92 8800GTS KO.

GPU's can withstand heat up to 110 C, fwiw.   120 is about the max, but obviously not recommended.   GPU's are much more tolerant of heat, than CPU's. 

Well that explains why the auto fan never ran any higher, this has obviously never been a heat issue. Unfortunately whatever the problem was got so that my games wouldn't even start at all, so I just did a reformat. Gunna stick with the 196.21 drivers for a while too.

Thanks guys.

Been running 196.21 for a month now, no problems.  GTX260.  Luckily I don't update my drivers as a rule until they've been out for a while (and the bleeding edge users have used them long enough to notice any problems).

'

I also do the same.

Forgot who said this while trying to take a base, but the quote goes like this. "I cant help you with ack, Im not in attack mode" This is with only 2 ack up in the town while troops were there, waiting. The rest of the town was down.
