Ok, I do not know if this is best thread in graphic cards, but I think it is most likely about GPU.

So I want to sell my PC but I have unsolved issue, so I cant tell which part is eventually faulty. GPU, drivers, cooling or its setting or something else, so please help me detect and eventually fix it.

So my display turns off sometimes, for 3-4 seconds. Sometimes, it also gives me an error message in taskbar, something like "display driver is not responding and was restored", but it happens rarely so I can't get the message now to put it exactly as it was (most of the time it happenns without error message). It happens during playing games, but what may be most important, it hapends everytime I'm switching next song/movie in KMPlayer. So surely it is not linked with monitor / lead.

Everything was fine until like few month ago when it started first. Display is just all going black, to recover after few seconds.
I have MSI GTX 660ti, it is not OCed atm, and was OCed slightly only few times before.
I am using windows 7 home edition.

How can I detect the problem? When I've copied the eroor message from taskbar into google, there was so many different answers that it seems this error and display blackouts may be caused by really many factors. Thanks for help :)
(I must add that I have no other PC to swap parts and test them, etc.. Sadly)
