Is i possible the a overheated/bad vid card can cause a system to shut down completley? I have a 9800 Pro card that is the only thing the hasnt be swapped out of a system (MB, CPU, Ram, PSU all tested) and whenever the system under a graphics load (Everquest), it shuts down after a few minutes.

Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

yea I think it is possible.
my x800xt gets super hot....and during Half Life 2 Stress test it gave me massive artificats and shut down on its own.
I later found out the core temp reached 93 degree celsius.
I am not quite positive and driver has set threshold temp and when the core temp goes over the threshold it will force computer to shut down in order to protect the card from getting fried.
