Issues, Workarounds & Localization

Alright, first my specs:

The aforementioned Nvidia GTS 250, with up-to-date drivers. Dxdiag says it has access to 4gb of memory. I don't know how much is physical and how much is virtual, it's been several years since I bought the card
Win 7 64
8gb RAM
Intel i5-3570k, 3.40ghz
Eve is running on a SSD with 120gb of storage.

Here's what happens: It really doesn't matter what I do, after I run Eve for a while, my screen will randomly black out. It's usually just for a second or two, when the screen comes back to life I get a notification saying that the display driver kernel has crashed and recovered.

Once this start happens, my video card fan becomes audibly louder and obviously begins working hard.

Crashes become intermittent but unpredictable after this.

After my video card has had enough, the screen will go back and will not recover without a hard reboot.

I've done basic maintenance methods, tried different graphical settings, but nothing appears to be helping.

It's worth noting that the game Skyrim also does this. But no other single game in my library is prone to these kind crashes and while they haven't cost me a ship or anything yet, if I can't fix this, losses are bound to happen.

Edit: Oh yeah, this issue has only started since my return to the game with Odyssey. I've played earlier in the year and never once had such an issue in Eve. This is a new that has come with a fresh installation of the eve client.
