My Video card is a 896MB NVIDIA® GeForce GTX 260 Core

There are no "over heating" or faulty fans  - lol

As stated before - I've updated the video drivers multiple times.  (except the one time in Jan when Nvidia yanked the driver because it was faulty.

Once the "Freeze" happens - if I relaunch right away, and even just load the default low res "ball" prop - it will Re-Freeze when I try to delete it.

I came, I rendered, I'm still broke.
