8800 GTX issue or something else

My rig is in my sig.

Has been running fine although I notice that one gfx card idles around 60 and the other 70 and goes up to 85 when under load (stock gfx although cpu is o/c'd).

I was getting occasional gfx/mem type crashes in Rainbow six vegas, but I put it down to the game itself.

Today I got my hands on the ATITool, and when I run it the same thing happens.

I put on the 3D view, and as the load goes up I start getting a slight whinning noise.....after a bit I click on the artifact free check...and a second or 2 later...full gfx crash with nice multicoloured screen.

Could this be some other issue, or is it most likely to be the cards?

Any help much appreciated.
 
Update to the above.

Tried both cards individually and no crash. One card does hit 10 degree higher temps than the other though. 76/86

It could be some kind of power issue although both pci-e 6p power leads are on each card. Might be better to try in general.
