So last night before i went to bed, I turned two of the fans in my psu off (it's a 3 fan 520w superflower) and i left the one regular size thick 80mm fan running in it (slow panaflo). The other two 120mm fans in my case were running low and I didn't run any system taxing processes overnight (cpu burn, boinc, etc). So i wake up this morning and the light on my computer is on.. so i hit the keyboard to wake the monitor up.. and nothing. So i go to hold the power button down to shut the thing off and it goes down immediately.. no hold required.
Went to class, came back five hours later and the same thing happened...

So after my second reboot of the day, when i booted it said that something happened with my nvidia drivers.. do you think that my video card overheating could cause this? I have a shafty geforce mx-440 sucky edition overclocked a good amount.. but i never had problems like this before.

thanks!
