I believe its a problem with the graphics card. Id just like to find out wheter or not its software or hardware. I have cleaned the nvidia drivers and installed the latest and this problem still occurs.

I am also running windows 7 professional 64bit.

Any help would be great,
Dan.

Thanks for the reply. I have removed the GPU, clead it out a bit and reseated it. The problem has yet to occur again. Im hoping that its solved but It will take time to prove.
