Hello,

When I enter a game, my computer lasts about 10 minutes before it totally freezes. Ctrl+alt+delete doesn't work, and the sound stops. My monitor stays frozen however.

My video card is a GeForce GTX 280. It started showing signs of trouble while playing the game, ie. inverted colors, mouse lag. The video drivers had failed, but recovered so I thought nothing of it. But now whenever I play, it crashes about 10-20 minutes into a game.

This does not happen with other games, on high settings. My GPU temperature is at highest 79 C, which isn't very high.
