For starters, have a look into the Event Viewer and tell us what's going on. With the info you provided I have no clue.

I assume by 8400 you mean the 8400M GS. Here is a link to a new driver that was just released Monday according to the nvidia site: NVIDIA - Download Drivers

I'm not sure if updating will solve your issue or not, but its a start.

You might want to swap on a different Windows 7 Theme when on Game...in Control Panel=>Personalize=>Choose Windows 7 Basic Theme

It could be either some throttling.
