Ok, I've just tried the nv driver with a huge desk fan, on high, pointed at
the graphics card heat-sinks. I also tried detaching my system fan from the
case and doing the same thing with it. No diffreence; it still freezes after
a little while. It's a low-end video card (see attached file for full
information), and has no fan to fail. Is there a way to test the card for
heat damage (or any kind of subtle damage)?
And, John, how could the motherboard battery affect the video?
Thanks,
Aidan

Sounds to me like the fan's failed...
If it is an older computer doing strange things it might be the battery on the
motherboard. It wouldn't hurt to replace it.
