Your graphics card is either overheating causing the card to stop or is dieing (the more likely)

You should try to clean out your laptop/pc of all dust and food bit's if any, if this does not help don't bother with editing things in windows, it won't help.

so if thats fruitless check your graphics card and its heat sink, there may be signs of damage on the card that you can plainly see but the damage could be in the card and you may not be able to tell, if cleaning does not work your card defiantly has something wrong with it.

--------- I had the same problem so yer, I know a dieing graphics cards happen alot....

Overclocking affects the lifespan of the card, but a card can still die, even without an overclock.

Personally, I'd imagine it's heat. Make sure there's proper airflow in your case and what not. Like Connor said, clean out dust if there's a lot of it.

Did you recently update your Nvidia driver? I had it happen once that the update screwed up the driver and it crashed often. I did a full fresh-driver-installation and it worked afterwards. (You can choose the option to do a fresh install in the advanced settings in the driver installer)
