Might be a driver issue, you tried others just in case? And is it generally or just in games?

This sounds like the dredded driver stopped responding error have you overclocked your GTX 275s? do you get a little triangle icon on the taskbar when you alt tab from games when screen goes blank

I used to get this on CoD WaW with my GTX285. If your using windows 7 it might have something to do with the colour settings changing in the background from True colour 32bit to whatever the game rathers works with.
Just an idea.

Turn Aero off and see if the problems persists.

How do I turn aero off?? Its only seems to happen when im playing games or surfing the net. The desktop is never an issue

Aero can sometime disrupt things, give it a try

What is the best way to turn off aero?

A: For those of you with poor or old video cards you are probably struggling running Windows Vista and more then 2 applications at once, let alone trying to switch between them. Especially powerful memory robbing ones like photoshop. By turning off all visual styles you still get the advantages of Windows Vista but not the looks. It runs 100% faster.
Right Click on "My Computer"
go to "Proprities"
Click on the "Advanced" tab
Under performance go to "Settings"
Now click on "Adjust for best performance"
Or you can choose what you would like to turn off
