For win7:

Control Panel / Power Options / High Performance

Here is what to do;
Open up nvidia control panel, go to manage 3d settings, then under global settings look for "power management mode" select " Prefer maximum performance" instead of the adaptive which is default.
Once I did that, no more crashes in MW2 and other games as well. Before I can't even play more than 3 minutes in MW2 with out the game crashing and the gpu clocks stuck in low power 3D unless I reboot again, but it kept doing the same thing till this fix.
There is also away force this in rivatuner as well.
