It could be any number of things, but as a guess I'd say that either your video chip was overheating or you have a bum video driver. Are you monitoring your temperatures? You might also look into how much RAM you're sharing with the video. :)

Try Real Temp - CPU temperature monitoring

It can monitor your video temperature too, in most cases. That may be a problem on a laptop, though.

As for the video, that would be a BIOS setting. If you have plenty of System RAM you can allocate more of it to the video subsystem - sometimes much more.

From the specs, it looks like you have plenty of built-in video memory. I'd pursue the temperature and driver issues. If this is a brand new laptop and you have good airflow around it it shouldn't be too dirty inside. What video driver are you using?
