Download the latest drivers for your card, then uninstall the drivers that you have installed. Restart and use Driver Sweeper to help you clean out your graphics card drivers. Then reinstall the drivers after restarting your system.

Could also be your graphics card or other components overheating. Check (or get your Dad to check) inside the case for dust, hair etc., that may be clogging up fans, particularly in and around the graphics card.

The GeForce FX series is pretty old now, and wasn't the best from Nvidia at the time either. Try asking your old man for an upgraded system

Or to get a computer of his own for gaming. :P

the only bad part about my computer is the graphics card which is going to be upgraded when my dad gets another better graphics card.. and i've been using this one fine for awhile now so i dont understand whats causing this.

Components get old and die, just like we do

There are a myriad of possibilities; power spike, overheat, wear-and-tear - the list is endless.

Anything that can go wrong, will - as a wise man once said.
