Is that CPU temps or video card temps?
Except for a Nvidia daemon (possibly some type of auto update) it appears the drivers are the 310.90 release.
I'm drawing a blank except for Spybot.
While looking at your system in detail, I did see that you are running Spybot with the Tea Timer turned on. That's a no-no for Windows 7. It could have prevented critical updates to the Registry. It will most likely slow down most modern AV monitors too. You also have SD helper turned on. This is not necessary and is probably incompatible with your ESET AV. You can use Spybot to keep your Hosts file updated but I advise against running the resident portions.
Start the Spybot program then navigate to Tools > Resident. Un-check both boxes, exit then reboot.
Run SFC /scannow from an elevated command prompt. Report back on console errors. | My System Specs |

That is GPU temps. CPU temps are at ~20-27 at idle. Again I can't check my temps under load because it always crashes.
I uninstalled SpyBot and removed any traces I could find of it.
Ran SFC /scannow: No integrity violations found.
Since SpyBot could have blocked some of my registry updates should I reinstall certain drivers or reformat?

I use Spybot to keep my Hosts file updated but that's all. Updates usually come out on Tuesday or Wednesday so I run it once a week just to get updates then "Immunize". That's what updates the Hosts file. It's called Passive Protection". It stops a lot of junk from even being read.
The scan will attempt to repair Windows standard registry entries but I don't think it knows about any type of third party driver parameters other than their registration. One way to check would be to open the graphics properties and make sure all the parameters are set to match your display. If any Reg entries are missing, it should create them if not a default option.
The next item to check is memory. Fire up Memtest86+ and let it run over night or until you start getting a lot of errors if you're watching it. You should run it for at least 6 or 7 passes and it could take up to an hour per pass.
Forgot to mention: The temps look good.

That's good information to know about SpyBot, thanks.
I will run a memory test tonight and see what happens.
On a side note. Since your initial guess was my video card I decided to replace my GTX570 with my 9800GTX+ from my old build. The issue seems to have stopped but I cannot say for certain without running it for a longer period of time. While using my GTX570 I would get a restart within 1-10 min of starting a game and sometimes randomly without even loading a game, just running videos in flash. While I am using the 9800GTX+ I have yet to receive a random restart. I will use this card for the next couple of days to see if I get any errors. If I do not receive any errors would you agree that the video card is most likely the issue? | My System Specs | | OS Windows 7 x64 CPU Intel i7-2600k @3.4GHz Motherboard P8Z68-V PRO Memory G.Skill Ripjaws DDR3 -1600 PC3-12800 4096MB x2 Graphics Card EVGA GTX570 Sound Card RealTek On Board Monitor(s) Displays Asus 23.6 inch / Samsung 24 inch Keyboard G110 Mouse G700 PSU Corsair HX1000W Case CoolMaster HAF 912 Cooling ThermalTake Frio Hard Drives Crucial M4 SSD 64GB

Hardware can certainly be an issue. The TDR error is caused by the driver not responding back to Windows after it issued a reset to the video card. If the card doesn't respond, the driver lags telling the OS it's complete so Windows issues the TDR (timeout). The first choice it to make sure the drivers are compatible and up to date since this is usually the cause. Since yours are, we start looking at hardware issues like dirty slots and/or flaky memory. These are cheap tests before condemning a piece a hardware though. Having a spare card sure makes it easier.
Keep us up to date on the outcome. | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop System Manufacturer/Model Number Built 2/11/2011 OS Windows 7 Pro-x64 CPU i7-2600 3.4GHz - 3.8GHz Turbo Motherboard Intel DH67BL-B3 Memory 8Gb - 2x4GB, Muskin 991770 PC3-1333 Graphics Card Integrated Intel HD 2000 Sound Card Integrated Intel 10.1 HD, RealTek ALC892 Monitor(s) Displays Asus LCD VH222H, Haier HL24XSL2a Screen Resolution 1920x1080, 1920x1080 Keyboard Logitech EX100 Wireless Mouse Logitech EX100 Wireless PSU Seasonic 650W 80+ Gold Modular Case Rosewill Defender Cooling Stock CPU, Four 120mm case fans, PCH fan added Hard Drives Crucial C300-128Gb,

8 Passes 0 Errors on the Memtest.
No restarts last night with the 9800GTX+, so we will see how tonight goes. | My System Specs | | OS Windows 7 x64 CPU Intel i7-2600k @3.4GHz Motherboard P8Z68-V PRO Memory G.Skill Ripjaws DDR3 -1600 PC3-12800 4096MB x2 Graphics Card EVGA GTX570 Sound Card RealTek On Board Monitor(s) Displays Asus 23.6 inch / Samsung 24 inch Keyboard G110 Mouse G700 PSU Corsair HX1000W Case CoolMaster HAF 912 Cooling ThermalTake Frio Hard Drives Crucial M4 SSD 64GB

Almost 2 full weeks without a restart while running my 9800GTX+ but there is a new symptom.
When I start my PC I am receiving an anti-surge warning from my BIOS every time I boot my computer.
Could it be my PSU is the issue and not the video card? My GTX570 does require two 6-PIN connectors while my 9800GTX+ only requires one. | My System Specs | | OS Windows 7 x64 CPU Intel i7-2600k @3.4GHz Motherboard P8Z68-V PRO Memory G.Skill Ripjaws DDR3 -1600 PC3-12800 4096MB x2 Graphics Card EVGA GTX570 Sound Card RealTek On Board Monitor(s) Displays Asus 23.6 inch / Samsung 24 inch Keyboard G110 Mouse G700 PSU Corsair HX1000W Case CoolMaster HAF 912 Cooling ThermalTake Frio Hard Drives Crucial M4 SSD 64GB
