Okay, those temps are excellent!
Now onto the next step:-
You asked whether your drivers are stable.
Try using these latest drivers from NVIDIA for your card and report back afterwards:- GeForce 304.79 Beta 64-bit download from Guru3D.com | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number DELL SXPS 1640 OS Windows 7 x64 Professional SP1 CPU Intel C2D T9550 2.66 GHz @ 2.793 GHz (Thanks ThrottleStop!!)

Is this a desktop or laptop? if the first, change your power settings to "High Performance", maybe this causes your freezing problems...

That could be the case, but it shouldn't freeze, and Windows should warn you instead that you're running low on RAM...
Hmm, you have 2GB of RAM and are running Windows 7 64 bit and trying to run some games on top of it? That is considered dangerously low, consider upgrading to 4 GB. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number DELL SXPS 1640 OS Windows 7 x64 Professional SP1 CPU Intel C2D T9550 2.66 GHz @ 2.793 GHz (Thanks ThrottleStop!!)

I listened to both the advice and nothing of it. Yesterday I took another 2gb of memory and nothing has changed and the game continues for a bit and then freezes. | My System Specs | | OS Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit 7600 Multiprocessor Free CPU AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4000+ Motherboard MSI MS-7369 Memory 2.00gb Graphics Card Nvidia GTX 460 Sound Card 1,2,3,4 NVIDIA High Definition A. 5.Realtek High Definition Monitor(s) Displays Benq PSU Chieftec GPS-300AB-100L 300W Internet Speed 400megabit/sec |
