Video Card Stopped Responding

Within every hour that I play tf2, my video card will stop responding. My game freezes for a moment, and then my tf2 screen becomes a black rectangle in the top left corner. I'm still in game, and I can still do things, the sound comes out fine, but I can't see anything that's going on. My chrome windows turn black and everything related to video. Once chrome/tf2 is restarted, it's working fine again *minus not having my loadout* until the card stops responding again. I've updated my drivers multiple times, but it doesn't seem to fix anything. It's gotten extremely annoying.

Video Card: Nvidia 9800 GT 1GB EVGA
and I'm running tf2 in dxlevel 95 with chris config

Any help would be nice!

Known issue with your card.

Use dxlevel 81 (chris highframes config)
