GPU recovery

[1LANCS]

Beginning to get on my nips now.

Machine:
Intel Q8200 2.33Ghz no OC
2Gb DDR2 800 Ram
Foxconn G45M-S Motherboard
XFX GT240 512Mb (GDDR5 Version) no OC with latest Nvidia Drivers, tried multiple versions
530W Hiper PSU

Some graphically demanding games after 20-30 mins of play will just suddenly freeze and i will get booted back to windows desktop saying that the drivers have recovered the GPU.

Is my GPU on its way out?

have you tried GPU-z to monitor the temps? you could also use afterburner to increase the fan speed a little if temps are high, not sure exactly what sort of temps are too high but my GTX260 was fine around 70'c iirc

temps max out at about 55 degrees.

don't sound like overheating then??? what version of windows are you running?

Doesnt matter thanks for the help, my GPU is toast just gone pop.
