GTX6 60 Video crashes during gameplay.

[Harry_43]

It's happened in at least 2 games. I'll be mid game and the screen will freeze and the sound will sound like a stuck gear.

Happens intermittently.

Could this be a virus? Is my video card old and needs replacing?

Do you have any graphics card oc apps like msi afterburner or asus gpu tweak etc

its most likely the card is overheating, a lot of times this can be related to the drying of the thermal compound if you have a warm case or live somewhere quite hot
