I will reapply my thermal paste and see if I get better temps. Does a gpu effect loading times?
*edit* I just got a blue screen and my computer restarted. I had 1 web page open and then I got it.

What was the bsod code? You can read the mini-dump file with windbg, d/l from MS.

For how long? Also,I have found multiple downloads that say windbg but they each do different things like hardware debugger and another is software debugger. Could you guys give me a link to the download please.
*edit* I found something not by windbg its from the event log but here is the code:

The 955 is a great value processor, I've got the Black Edition and you can seriously clock it up. I used to have an 8600gt before I burnt it out I upgraded to an Inno3D 8800GT OC about 2 years ago and even though it's now 2 generations old it's still playing most new DX10 games on full res and full settings (no surprise as it can take full settings in Crysis)! ANY upgrade from the 8600GT should yield big differences in gameplay. I'm about to get FSX so I expect that'll expose the card's limits- maybe I'll let ya know ;-)
