Well I think I figured it out. Its a 6800 GT that comes overclocked from BFG. I turned the overclocking down to "stock" levels (using a registry hack) and wouldn't u know it works fine now : / I will never buy another BFG product again. It was a heat issue for sure, but I have a case fan, video card fans and even run it with the case open. I read that sometimes the cards can really be overclocked and other times not. You would think BFG would test the stability before selling. Thats why the older games did not crash it
