Video Driver Failure

I hope I'm posting this in the right thread. I was playing a game on my PC tonight and all the sudden the game froze on me! I haven't had that happen since I built it a few months ago. I wasn't sure what to do because I couldn't use my mouse or Esc. key, they didn't do anything so I hit Ctrl Alt Delete. A few seconds went by and I was back to windows but the resolution was way down at 600X800 like it was in safe mode. A window popped up that said " Video Driver failure report to microsoft after rebooting". Well I tried to shut it down but it wouldn't so I had to hit the main power switch on the PSU to shut it down.

I rebooted and everything seems to be back to normal and I also tried the same game again that I was playing when this happened and all is well. Running like it should. Through the device manager I looked up the driver and did a scan to see if it was up to date and it said yes. Could this just be a glitch? Just something gone a little hay wire for a minute? Or could I have a problem with my GPU driver? It's been working with out a problem for months and I'm not even sure if I should be concerned about so I figured I would ask you guy's. If you need more details just let me know. Specs, ect.....

Thank you! I have looked it up and there was a new one released on the 21st. I have done a couple conservative steps that may have helped and I'll just play it by ear like you said. If it continues I will try the newer video driver.
