How many times does that happen and what software have you install recently? Also do some scan for spyware etc. >.>
If that doesn't fix it then send another reply and I'll research it if someone doesn't know.
EDIT: And yeah, looks like a card fault... but it could be something else. I seem to remember having that at one point and it sorta wore itself away. So I didn't bother asking, lol

Looks like either a dodgy driver if you are lucky, more likely a dodgy card

it sometimes freezes and locks up completely... sometime it locks up and then lets me do stuff again... and sometimes it just freeze and unlocks itself and lets me carry on as normal.

You can check which drivers you have...
Go into your nVidia settings and it'll tell you. Be pretty useless if it didn't, lol

agreed overheating - seems to have resulted in non fixable damage.
