Hey guys :) new to the forums. I have had my nvidia 7800 512mb AGP card now for just over a month, since i have had the card when ever i play a game (no matter what game it is) my whole system just freezes (it seems to be 100% random when it freezes) it froze a few days ago and i restarted my system and i got a message come up but i was logging into my xfire at the time and as i pressed enter this message came up and i closed it, i got a quick glimpse at what it said something about the VGA memory.then i had two choices 'restore' and 'cancel' i think when i pressed enter it was on 'restore'. I have asked a few of my friends about anyway of fixing it but they are totally stumped.

Hope someone here can help.

Cheers :-)

Do the usual, update the drivers and get something to test the vidoe RAM.
See what results you get then.
