A couple troubling things

Lately, some strange things have been plauging the computer.

Ive swept the hard drive with Avast, Malwarebytes, ect. and they all come up empty.

and yet, my biggest problem is that whenever i shutdown, ittakes 30 seconds to shutdown and all of a sudden it blue screens, something about " C:\Windows\Minidump\Mini101011-01.dmp" and it dumps memory to disk and restarts, all instead of simply shutting down.

this has happened before, but that stopped after i installed MSI Afterburner to help spin up the fans on my GPU because it was way overheating.

nothing has changed really. so i dont know why it would start blue screen restartng only at shutdown.

Secondly,i was just wondering, if my fan goes out on my GPU, can i make up for it with a couple extra case fans to keep it cool? or is it just done for...

Lastly, another GPU Question, its been getting up to 72 C on my heaviest game , battlefield bad company two. Im not quite sure if i can sneak in another fan into my incredibly small case (just BARELY fit the gpu in the first place), so do you think i should cave in and get a new case with a couple extra fans? or stick it outt at 72 (max)
