Hello Everyone.
My friend's computer had an problem which is that when he is playing a game (the more the game "consumes" the more it happens)the game COMPLETELY freezes, the colors go all crazy and if he quickly switches to his desktop this shows up :

His computer specs are :
> Ram : 4,00GB
> CPU : Intel i5 3470
> GPU : Nvidia GeForce GTX660

I've tried updating his drivers, doing clean uninstall and installing again i even Formatted his computer to Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit...and it still happens ! :-/

Any Solutions guys ?

Thanks.

Overheating can cause issues. What temperature is the card running at when it's just sitting idle and what temperature is it getting up to in games when it's working? You'll need a program that logs the temps. MSI afterburner works well, the company that made his card also probably makes one that will work, and there are others like OpenHardwareManager.
