Agree with usasma, would start with the Nvidia driver.
Is it from Asus?
Check for update.
Version number?
If the latest driver is installed try to find an earlier one for testing.

I see a lot of the Asus G73's with video card problems (I work as a PC Technician). My youngest son's had to be exchanged during warranty as the card went bad.
Try the free video tests here: Additional Hardware Diagnostics
Just FYI - the latest nVidia Win8 (64 bit) drivers are here: Drivers - GeForce

If you have no disable C-States option in the BIOS (most laptops don't) you can workaround by creating a new Custom Power Plan and set - as an advanced option - in the Processor Power Management Tab the minimum processor rate at 50-70% ( i set myself at 50%) and the maximum processor rate at the very same value! (50%-50% or 70%-70%).
No crashes since then! Yes it takes from the processing power, but at least the system is stable.
As i noticed here and on other forums, this is an Intel only problem.
P.S. I joined 8Forums only to post this solution. If you are regulars on other forums, post it there also, it would help others too.
