Well after much headache and two tech support calls to UBI it's all working again. But these .21 drivers aren't completely right either, as my system wont keep the settings when restarting. I have to go to video properties and reset it all after a restart.
But other than that the game is working again.
My advise now is, dont do this if your system is working fine as mine was.
Like nvidia said, "some" customers were reporting card failures with the .75 drivers. That some may have had bad cards to start with, or some other issue causing this.

Personally I dont think it had anything to do with the drivers.
