Random crashing with BSOD

Every 5-20 minutes, Borderlands crashes spectacularly. The sound still works, and other processes (iTunes, Skype, etc.) will actually continue playing audio underneath. However, any attempt to Ctrl-Alt-Del does nothing and the computer has to be restarted to work again. I've done a bunch of testing, and here are the things it's not:

-Overheating: no other game overheats my card, and I play heavier games than Borderlands 2. BL2 gets a solid smooth framerate, so quick it tears here and there. The card does get up around 80 degrees C though.

-Background processes: the game crashes just as quickly after a selective startup.

-Not the latest drivers: I updated.

I'm running an AMD FX 4170, GeForce 550 Ti, 8GB RAM, Windows 7 64-bit Home Edition.

Does anyone else have the same issue?
