Run through these first. tool box

Then check the pc connections, clean the inside of your case with compressed air etc.

uninstall drivers for gpu and reinstall.

What OS are you running?
Do you have the latest version of DirectX?
Do you have the latest version of the vid card driver software?
What settings are you using in the vid card driver for the games?

degrade your graphic card, i had it whit mine too.
it didn't stopped whit failing, my game stopped every 5 minutes.
so go to the nvidia website and search for your cpu and then the prevorious update.

If your running high end games I'd suggest getting a better GPU that will be able to handle them..

His card should be more than capable of handling the games he mentioned.

Could it possibly be my computer making the gpu card lag like it does
