I just built a new rig and everything was great until I started getting a lock up randomly in games (WOW, Battlefield 2142, etc). Sometimes it'd take an hour, sometimes 2 hours, and sometimes 2 minutes. No lock-ups occur at any other time. So I flashed the BIOS to the newest version, however this did not fix the problem. I have no idea whats going on. Any help would be appreciated.

System Specs:

Asus P5N32-SLI Premium
Core 2 Duo E6600
2Gb OCZ Gold DDR2-800
BFG Geforce 7950GT 512mb
36.7Gb Western Digital Raptor
160Gb Seagate Barracuda
550W Antec Trio (3 12V rails)
 
Jumps up to 80c+ in game. I think we've found the culpret. Gotta find a better way of cooling my case and keeping temps down.
 
Don't I know it. I have the Antec P180B case and the fans just aren't cutting it. Antec's website says that the Tricool fans that are included in the case run at a max of 2000rpm, which seem like plenty for silent fans.. but I hardly feel ANY air at all moving through them. So I went out tonight and bought an Antec VCool PCI fan to try to lower the temps of the graphics card directly. And it worked.. unfortunately just not to my expectations.. Temps only dropped about 5 degrees. Its great and all but I was just expecting a little more.. since the box boasts a temp drop of 15C. I also did a little cable clean up and it dropped my CPU degrees from 51C down to 45C. So I guess thats about right. It is sounding like I am going to need to grab some fans with a higher CFM. :(

On a side note, does anyone else have a BFG Geforce 7950GT that I can compare Idle/Load temps with?
