Try a driver update with Slimdrivers if the problem persists and it's free.

Looks like an intermittent hardware issue. It recovers when you reboot.

I had trouble with a graphics card that did not identify itself in any way with diagnostics. Everything was supposedly OK. I replaced the graphics card and the PC has run perfectly since. The PC graphics would just hang up or be very slow in loading things up.

The point is it could have been anything, it could have easily been a motherboard component imho. It just so happened a family member had a suitable graphics card going spare and I substituted it and it fixed the problem. I have also since sourced a new MB as I know things that have gone wrong with that. (some usb's, and the fourth sata socket dont work) It took a while but a new MB at the right price eventually turned up. It will get put in some day.

There is a piece of software that service techs use that stress tests the item in question. I have used and bot this one here, and it works:
