It may not be the graphics card but could be overheating on the motherboard or processor.
Go into yout BIOS and see if there is a section about temperatures, fan speeds and cut-out limits.
Most modern motherboards and graphics cards have inbuilt sensors and software to allow monitoring of temperatures and fan speeds.
Go to the manufacturer site for the motherboard and graphics card and see if there is a software utility available, Nvidia provide Ntune for example.
You don't mention what you are running when it freezes up.
If it's a particular game you could try turning down or off some of the effects to lighten the load on your machine.

Unless you card has a temperature censor then you can't monitor it. You would likely know if it did so it probably doesn't.
Have you overclocked the card? If so turn it down a bit until it stops freezing like that.
Check that the fan on the card - if your card has a fan - is working, if not get a new fan for it. Also make sure the processor fan is still working.
