So after everything.. I figured it wouldn't hurt to try a new graphics card so I did. I bought a new one, and tried running everything with the new one. Everything is perfect :)
I can run the game now with fan at 50% and temps no higher than 70C.
I'm sending the old one to the manufacturer, and just keeping the new one, I like it a lot.
Thanks for all the suggestions everyone!
Your welcome, and glad to know everything is back to normal and working again :)

My laptop has been doing this for a while, whenever I go to shut down my laptop from start menu the screen goes black but the fans stay on and the keyboard lights still glow (I have an Alienware with the glowing keyboard). Only when I hold down the manual switch does it shut down all the way.
