New ASUS SABERTOOTH 990 Setup - Crashing In Game

[David_39]

So I bought a new motherboard, RAM, and SSD. Here are my components:
OCZ 700MXSP 700W PSU
ASUS Sabertooth 990FX R2.0
Phenom II 955 X 4
XFX GTX+ 9800
G.SKILL DDR-1866 PC3-14900 8GB X 2 CL 10-11-10-30
Hyper X SAVAGE SSD SATA III 240GB
Windows XP SP3

Computer randomly crashing while playing D3 RoS. Lasts longer on lower resolution, but still crashes randomly.

I have all the latest driver for the video card and Im pretty sure I have all the correct motherboard drivers installed.

You might want to think about updating that GPU and CPU.

And your OS.

update: it seems like it might be a heat issue. It's now late at night (2:00 AM) and the temp has dropped. It was mid 90s today. Ive been gaming for about an hour now with no hitches. I was actually at Frys today ready to buy a new cooler but a tech there said that's most likely not the issue at the temps the thermal radar was reading out. (60-70 c) My suspicion is that the reads are low or the cpu heats significantly when gaming.
