Take out each component individually and
A) Look at it for obvious damage and then
B) Smell it for smoke / other meltdown smells (melted plastic etc.)

Then, if you can try to put your hard drive in another computer to see if it boots. If it works right, then it's probably your RAM.

But if I were to judge by your symptoms I'd say the video card is about to go. I had the exact same symptoms just before my last one went.

Eh, I'm having the same symptoms, and I've been told it's my vid card. Totally crashes when running a game more intense than Saint's Row 2.

Hm, well I am going to test out tomorrow. I did the upgrade to my graphics card and BC2 ran fine. Though it was only for a short time.

Do a test. Turn your graphic settings down to mininum, or somewhat lower, compare the time till it cracks to maxed out settings.

Try downgrading CCC to an earlier version. It is also great to know your name is david thornberg. You probably should have left that out.

I really suggest not playing around with video cards too much 'cause they like to take the motherboard with it in my experience. >.>

So yeah, if it is the problem, I'd suggest replacing it fairly quickly.

When I was having problems similar to that it turned out to be my graphics card. Maybe check that in particularly for any signs of damage.

I'd say this would be your best bet.

I am not the best judge... So, I will try out what LittleJP said and if that doesn't. Luckily I got warranty so they will send a guy out to exchange my graphics card for free. :)
