Bummer...screen freezes turns black?

Hi everyone, well I'm a little frustrated because I finally got Skyrim (pc) about 2 weeks ago. I'm loving it for sure. But I've hit a snag. After playing for an hour or so, I will go to move my mouse and the screen will just freeze, the picture will remain for about 3 seconds then the screen crashes to black.....then after about 2 seconds the Skyrim screen comes back and I can move my mouse and continue to play until the screen crashes again. At first I thought it was a mouse issue, but the mouse works fine in all my other games - Fallout New Vegas, Borderlands 2 etc.

So now I'm wondering if it's a video card issue or OS. Using Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium, and downloaded Skyrim from Steam.

Anyone have any idea why Skyrim is freezing and crashing? Thanks. G
