This doesn't happen all the time but sometimes in the middle of playing Starcraft 2 the whole screen will go into a pinkish color and then BsoD. This also happens all the time when i start playing Demigod. I'm thinking my video card might be at fault here but I need help in finding out for sure.

Intel Core I7 920 @ stock speed
ASUS Rock X58 Extreme
BFG GTX 280
Super Talent 6GB DDR3 1333
Corsair 850 watts
Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit

Run Furmark and see if you get the same problem. At the same time, use TechPowerUp's GPU-z to log the temperatures. You might also want to grab a DMM and measure the rails on your power supply to see if that's the culprit, though it's somewhat doubtful.

Finally, booting into safe mode and running DriverSweeper to clean out old drives, then reinstalling the latest Nvidia drives might be a good idea.
