BSOD and PC Freeze randomly-Maybe because of graphic card failure

Hi Sevenforums :)

My PC is lately beginning to freeze randomly. Sometimes I just surf the web and then my music lags for 20 seconds and everything freezes. Sometimes Windows says that it has recovered from a "Video Hardware Error". And other times it's just coming back to normal without any message.

Today I came back to my PC, it was turned on. And my monitor was on "standby" which it does automatically after 10 minutes. But when I moved on the mouse it didn't turn on or the PC didn't respond, then after 30 seconds the PC restarted with the screen where you press enter to start normally again.

When I checked in the problem registry there where three problems. Two "Video Hardware Errors", and one BSOD error.

I find it pretty annoying so I hope you can help me. I've attached the zip.
