Seemingly random GPU freezes
I am running the 7100 64 bit version. I have a XFX 9600GSO installed, with the latest drivers from the nvidia website. During normal use, i.e. surfing the web, randomly the GPU will lose connectivity/use for a second, and then regain it. This also happens during any games I play, except that when it happens in-game or during watching a movie, the computer freezes and requires a hard-restart.
I have run memtest to see if it is a problem linked to bad ram, i have used several older drivers from nvidia, and the one from windows update.
Any ideas would be much appreciated, as anything that requires heavy graphics use seems to freeze the computer.
