Card isn't getting the cooling required?

hi again, ive just formatted my c drive and reinstalled windows 7 on it and havent installed drivers yet either but its still doing the same thing with world of warcraft crashing after so many minutes, and my graphics card must be getting the cooling required its running at 28-30 degrees i dont understand why this is happening.

edit: also my card is a Sapphire ati radeon HD 4850.. I bought it with a bigger fan and cooling metal than normal as it was from sapphire

Heres your clue Only with that game, the game has the problem. With other games and programs, its your hardware. IT can be your 2gb of memory, probably not enough

hmm i guess, my 2gb of memory doesnt max out when playing the game though but i guess ill just go back to XP windows 7 has caused me nothing but bother..

also i do get the display driver stopped working and has successfully recovered whilst just browsing the web. i have no clue what to do thanks though.
