geforce 6800 causing blue screen

since i got my fab new geforce 6800 i keep getting the fatal blue screen of death sying that there is a problem with nv4.disp_dll, (one of the geforce drivers or system files I assume). My friend thinks its because my motherboard (matsonic 8137c) cannot handle the new card. I seem to get the blue screen whenever i take the card to its limits. Like on 3dmark03 mother nature test, it always starts at 140 fps with the water scene then falls to 13 fps as the turtle comes into view and crashes. Does my motherboard need to be upgraded or is it somthing else??
Oh and also i managed 8870 score on 3dmark03, is that below average for the 6800??

Never heard of this Motherboard, it could be that the voltages for the CPU, Memory or graphics are too low. Also if it isn't a fresh installation of windows it could be reacting badly to the new hardware. You could try reinstalling or updating your graphics drivers.

oh make sure you have the latest official driver for your card...I heard they boost performance on the 6800 series...and your score seems way to low...you should score around 10K-11K...
