40 minutes of gaming? Increase the video card fan to 100% and add chassis fans. Probably, overheating issue.

I had this problem on some games too with my 8800GTX. Have you updated the drivers lately? Try to install 175.19 WHQL driver from nvidia.com. My problem got solved after the driver update some time ago... For x86 try this: GeForce Release 175 For x64 try this: GeForce Release 175

Then your card could be defective. If it's overclocked, return it to stock
speeds and try again.

May not be that, but it's one suggestion you should throughly explore.

Post your system specs include PSU type/brand/wattage.
