Is the fan on the card still spinning? What is the case cooling setup? Whats the room temperature?

In the past we have had people leave there pc's in a closed cabinet or next to a furnace and not figure out why they were overheating.

you can use rivatuner and up the fan speed to 60% and it should fix te overheating issue if your graphics card fan is working
