graphics card reboots when watching video? [Solved]

[BuyMyMojo]

Recently the graphics card in my pc has been going crazy, it'll be fine while I play games or browse the web but when I watch video and sometimes while it is left idle the graphics card will freeze up before jumping back to life or rebooting.

I double checked that it was rebooting by having the sound come out my monitor and the fans on my card high enough to hear, the next time it happened I could hear the sound stutter and the fans whirl down until the video resumed.

Any ideas what the problem could be?

If you are missing any of your operating system's drivers, that could also be something to check into.

I updated my graphics drivers and that didn't solve it so i went through and updated the rest of my drivers and its all fixed now. thanks!
