Nvidia support

I would contact Nvidia (or the actual manufacturer of your card) if i were you guys, seems like a widespread problem that they would no-doubt be aware of.

if you are installing your on video card, ground yourself, for example tap the side of your case, your body has a static charge and it WILL defuse through a video card, modem almost anything and if that happends ur so screwd
GOOD LUCK!
