Signy, I just want to give credit where credit is due. Your's and another's suggestion of SpeedFan led me to my final solution. While using SpeedFan to check SMART I decided to monitor my temps as well. Wouldn't you know it, my case is not a custom case and is just a factory case from ASUS and I was overheating my GPU & CPU. Pretty badly as well. I have taken the side of the case off and put a fan blowing on it. This is a temporary fix until I can find some extra cash to buy the Antec 900 case with multiple fans inside it. Thank you for everyone's help and thank you for taking time out of your day to help a fellow gamer.
