Problems with GTS 250 in some games. Display cuts out to monitor. Can anybody help?

Hi all

Some of the important specs of my rig: I hit a Pentium E5200 with buccaneer 4gb XMS2, an XFX GTS 250 512mb and 520w Coolermaster PSU, 3 hard drives, a dvd and dvd-rw and an X-Fi.

During some games, most fresh GRID and prior to that Crysis and Crysis Warhead, the picture on my monitor goes blank. Forcing me to restart. Everything is ease running, but meet the picture cuts out mid-game.

I am sure my PSU is meet most sufficiency to run the GTS 250 and is pretty beatific quality. Do you conceive this problem is due to the PSU, should I upgrade it? Or is it airflow? And if so, how do I go most upping the fan speed on the graphics card?

Another thing to note is that I hit overclocked my CPU from 2.6ghz to ~2.8ghz – would this help?

I really poverty to get my PhysX bill in there as well, but am sure this is belike overkill and would need a new PSU anyway.

Would appreciate any help anyone can offer.

Thanks

John
