Any ideas why this would happen?

It happens with RF Online, COD 2, and BF2.
Just happens in games with details on high, if I set the details to medium the game works flawlessly.

I have all the latest drivers.

I think its the video card, I hope not though. Can't afford another one with this house purchase comming up soon.

My specs are as follows:

Athlon 3700
2GB PC 3500 Geil Memory
500GB HD
SB Audigy 2
DFI Lan Party Motherboard
Antec True Power 2.0 550W Powersupply
 
Its the gigabyte x800xl with the heatpipe and no fan. Thing gets damn hot but it makes no noise..

I think u just figured it out.. U need a fan to get air moving over the thing, if the thing that goes over ur CPU HSF isnt getting enough airflow over it that it is probably overheating.

Edit: BTW nice setup.
