I was playing BF2 today, all max settings, stock clocks on my GFX card, and the fan on it turned to 100%. It somehow got to 78c, and the screen started flickering. I let it cool for awhile, and its running fine now at 49c. Anyone have an idea why it did that? Maybe I accidently hit my hotkey to set the fan to 40%.

That's kinda hot for a 100% fan setting. I have mine set at 65%, and I've only seen it go to 72 while playing crysis. What kind of case do you have?
It's not only the fan that affects the temp on your card, good airflow in your case goes a long way in cooling those components. Also, is the card overclocked? You may have to back down a bit.
The flickering might be the card getting too hot and throttling itself.
