Games Crashing After 5 min of Play ! HELP !

This purely a guess so dont take this comment as gospel

But It could be a mix of your PC temputure and your PSU not being up to it.

Thats what i THINK is happening. If i was in your situation, I would try and get all the fans working as much as you can and see if you still have the same issues.

WTF AM I ON ABOUT!

Well think about it, your CPU has a fan, your graphics card has a fan, im guessing your case has an extra fan. Find a programes online to turn all the fans up an noutch. this way you can see if it is a temperutre issue.

Other than that id wait for a moe experienced Gamespot member to help you out

Good luck

I have read that the 8800GT get HOT. So this is why i think it's the GFX's fault. Otherwise i think the PSU is strong enough to handle my system: 600W and 48A on four 12V Rails.

Your Toughpower is sufficient even to power SLI cards, you're fine there.

Just out of curiousity though, what plug are you talking about? The one for the fan? Because it sounds like the fan might not be properly connected, since you don't get a fan option.

I doubt it's the GPU heat issue. ~80C is fine for a graphics card.

What I am thinking is unstable, is the RAM. What are your RAM settings? How much voltage are you pumping into them, what are their timings, what speed do they run and at what command rate?

Also, describe what happens when the game crashes.

800 Mhz, 5-5-5-15 and a 3:2 FSB ratio. when the crash occurs there is red, green and blue lines everywhere and the sounds loops669594

That definitely sounds like graphic artifacting, indicative of a GPU overheating.

I just want to test one more thing...

Try removing one stick of RAM. Make that you keep the memory in dual channel mode and have 2GB accessible.
