If all else fails, try running the game in Windowed mode and ensure there is no overclocking enabled for the graphics card. You could also try running the game as an administrator.
Open Task Manager and check if there is any program that is taking more than 25% of the CPU space, terminate the program. From the Nvidia Control Panel, set antialiasing to Application controlled and tune down all other settings like texture and frame rate.
