I have an Nvidia GTX460. I think I got it in 2010 or so. Anyway, never had an issue. Upgraded drivers over the years. About a couple months ago when I would watch the little news videos on CNN.com perhaps once a week one of them would hang and lock up my computer and I'd have to hold the power button to turn off and reboot.
All I could really find online that helped was to set PhysX configuration in the Nvidia control panel to my specific video card instead of auto-select. This seemed to help and then about a month ago in the middle of a game or in the middle of surfing the web the screen would flicker/go black for a second then come back and a message would pop up stating something like display adapter for video driver XXX.XX has recovered. Now about once a week it does this. Sound like a video card dying?
I've tried about 5 different drivers in the last few weeks and they all seem to have this issue. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
