Hey Guys. I had a quick question. Whenver I play graphic intesive games (CSS or WoW on max everything) for an extended period of time (usually over 30 minutes), my computer tends to freeze, then restart about 20% of the time. It never seems to do this when I pull all night Lan party's playing only CS 1.6. Since this has been happening, ive made it a habit to monitor the grahics card temperature but it seems to idle at about 50c during games. Here are my specs:

170 Opty
DFI Expert
XFX 7900gt Extreme
600w Powerstream
1gb Corsair Value

Anybody know what may cause this? Im not too sure what drives I have installed (I believe the most recent ones, v84.something) and Im pretty sure I have the December Bios for the Expert. Thanks very much for any help.
