Here's my thoughts on this:
Since you are using TM: Are you playing in the latter half of 1943? If so, check the last couple pages of the TM thread for Tater's campaign update that was causing crashes on my computer.

NVIDIA stupidly removed temperature monitoring from Forceware, but there is a "relatively easy" way to test if the temp is causing problems:
Try Nv Templogger (I haven't tried this one myself... but other recommend it) http://www.guru3d.com/article/nvtemplogger/294/1/

For one that I *KNOW* works (I use it all the time), try this:
Get Rivatuner http://www.guru3d.com/index.php?page=rivatuner. You don't have to mess with clocks, just use it's awesome temperature monitoring abilities. Here's how... go the "Main" Tab. Under the make of your video card, click the little triangle next to "customize..." Then, click on the next-to-last button that should say "Hardware monitoring" when you mouse over. If the core temperature is not one of the default measurements, click on the Setup button in the lower corner, and you can checkmark core temperature in the setup screen. For a bit more, you can do this: http://www.overclock.net/nvidia/1693...ner-temps.html

For a thorough discussion of how to use this (a lot is about overclocking, but the temperature and fan stuff is very useful), read this article: http://www.vaguesoft.com/users/dwood...ls/rivatuner2/

If you have an Nforce mobo, you could use NTune instead: http://www.nvidia.com/object/ntune_5.05.47.00.html

BL: You don't want you video card to get above ~65*C (Some say 60, some say 70...)
