Computer keeps freezing after Nvidia Graphics Card fails.

[SirAsP]

I currently have an Alienware x51 with no modifications or upgrades. I am using both monitor ports and all my drivers are updated. After a bit when I played a game for longer than 15 minutes the screen would go black and the computer would freeze for a bit. Then a notification saying "Nvidia Graphics Card has failed and been restored" would pop up, then my computer would just start freezing and now the computer won't even start up. Any help would be appreciated thanks.

There's a thread on nVidia forums addressing this.
