That's a nice rig.

Well, download SIS Sandra and use the "fine tune module" to see what services in XP you can shut down?
Keep the hdd spyware free and defrag the drive on a regular basis.

Make sure you have the latest chipset driver and update the other drivers now and then.

Unload anything at startup that you don't use.

Use a junk file cleaner software 2-3 times a week.

Download a registry cleaner / repair and use it at least once a week.

And maybe use this list to fine tune your BIOS.

Also download "Nv Templogger" from here:

http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?det=1194

Set it to log. And game away until the freezing happends.
Then check the log for the temps.

i can logg it but i cant see the log cuz the pc just dieds and i have to hit the reset butten

The log will be saved as a note pad document. So after rebooting, you can check out the log.
One more thing. If your problems occured after changing the BIOS settings? Reset Bios to defaults.
