Thats' weird - try updaint the gfx card's bios and can you post the exact model of your gfx and or a link to manufacturer's website ? Post Gpu-z screenshot ( of all tabs ) as well.

^^ Ok - so that's stock clocked version and from the problem pattern it looks like the gfx card is going to go bad soon - submit it for RMA.
