There was a problem about a month ago with Nvidia proprietary drivers 
that forced the fans to slow down too much and did just that. Fried gpu.

Nvidia stopped the release of the driver and all is well again.

I have a 9400 gt on my machine and I have no problems with 195.36 drivers

Cranked to  700 on gpu speed and at load hits between 50C to 57C.
Well within operating temps.

Make sure your drivers are 195.36
