Sounds like a graphics crash, whether that be a hardware problem, or a
driver fault.

The suggestions about cooling have merit, and it *might* be easy enough
to aim a fan at your card to see if it helps.  If your graphics card has
its own fan, or cooling fins, it'd pay to check that they're in a good
condition.

I was given a card with a seized fan, and it runs fine for me, with a
case fan blowing air across the cards heatsink (with its own seized fan
removed).  If anything, my jury-rigged solution cools the entire card
better than the original fan that just barely cooled one small part of
it.
