OK, turns out it was my graphics cards... most probably the heat issue or could also be power because the Radeon only had one 6 pin connected for power (whereas my PCI E power cable had two 6 pin connectors available)...
The replacement card I got (MSI Geforce GTX 560Ti 2GB) has 2 sets of 6 pin connectors which are now both connected. It runs much quieter than the ATI (can't even hear it), whereas the ATI sounded like an airplane about to take off (once under load!)
can play Crysis 2 at Ultra!
Now to try the DX11 settings
