Games refuse to load
Hi, I've mostly been enjoying 3D vision since I got it last week, but have run into an occasional problem that renders my PC unable to load 80% of the games installed on my PC, unless I uninstall the nvidia drivers and reinstall them.
Even after reinstalling, this problem tends to pop up again after a few days.

An example of what happens when I attempt to start a game: I hear the sound, but my screen will keep going black, occasionally with the game showing for a second, and occasionally a purple screen animated white horizontal lines through it pops up. The only way to stop this is by pressing ctrl-alt-delete, causing the game to crash.

This is almost certainly 3D Vision related as I recently formatted, and this started a day after I set it up, and have been using the same drivers (V270.61) and the same monitor for over a month beforehand. My PC's temperatures are fine as well.
Disabling 3D Vision in the control panel doesn't help at all.

Just as a note, 3D works fine in the very few games which do load, and works fine for 3D movies.

Added my system specs onto the original post.

I just reinstalled the drivers and everything seems to be working fine again, but I've had to do this 3 times now, so it's definitely going to be temporary.

You said the temperatures are fine. Looks like you've got plenty of power to run a 480, never mind a 460, so that shouldn't be it. I assume letting your PC stay turned off for an hour or so doesn't fix the problem?

Maybe the driver files are getting corrupted. Have you done a good, solid virus scan on your PC recently? Perhaps you could uninstall the drivers, do a complete checkdisk, then install again?

I updated to the new beta drivers, which while not perfect, it has mostly removed the issue.

However, now when I try to run a few games, such as Assassins creed II/Brotherhood, I get a message at the bottom of my screen saying "Warning: attempt to run Stereoscopic in non-stereo display mode, please change to an acceptable mode-" etc.

I was looking forward to playing those games in 3D, and both are fully updated.
