3D acceleration freezing up?

It'll be fine for days and it still occasionally freezes in the middle of the 3D game, World of Warcraft in this case, not a particularly hard or intensive scene or anything, the hardware cursor will still be moveable but the 3d image is frozen.

I can often hear the sound of the game still going on.

I can -slowly- alt-tab out of it and end the task. when i start the game up again (World of Warcraft in this case) it tells me 3D acceleration failed to load. Have to restart PC for WoW to start again. No rhyme or reason seemingly. No trigger.

Also happens in Quake IV, the only other game I am currently playing.

Anyone else get this? eVGA 7800GT, Seasonic S12 PSU, temps are okay, GPU temps are well within spec 45-50 idle, 70C load.
