This is usually linked to driver problems, especially when it's intermittent. Make sure all your drivers are up-to-date, especially if you can link the start of this problem to any changes to your system.

Don't know how old your comp is or what kind of specs it has but it could just get clogged once in a while, i suggest defragging, cleaning disk, and removing adware/spyware.
