    I had a similar problem a while ago and I did a lot of driver installations in an attempt to fix it. The solution was to disconnect the power plug and open the case to check the graphics card for dust accumulation on the heat sink and fan. While you are there, check all heat sinks and fans. If any dust, clean it off. You may have to remove the fan(s) but do not remove the heat sinks. Blow the dust off with a can of compressed air. If you had to remove the fans, tighten the screws with "two fingers only ". The may jam if too tight.
