    Go I bought call of duty 4 today. I was excited to play it on my notebook. Everything was goin fine, then boom. the screen blacks out every 3 minutes or so, but the gameplay resumes after about 20 seconds of blacking out.

    I minimized to find that my taskbar tells me my graphics card has failed but has successfully recovered. Now i cant even play counter strike source anymore? I used to average 80-90fps on high settings, now i cant even get 20 fps.

    What is goin on?
