I have two BFG 8800GTs, everything seems to be connected properly, and i have a big fan on the side of the chassis.

Any help i can get would be appreciated. I have to go out now, but i'll check when i get back for any checks you think i should make ....thanks in advance.

You have to manually config your Nvidia cards' fans to get them to run at 100%. For this I'd recommend Riva Tuner as Nvidia's own graphics software is useless. What is your normal gfx card temp when running windows? Crysis added 25 degrees to my temp, took it up to 90 degrees Celsius. Crazy.

But do the cards have fans themselves?

In the past I have had a passively heated graphics card which would lock the computer when really pushed. (And nothing is going to work it harder than Crysis...)

In my case, I resolved it by drilling out holes in the side of the case, then mounting a great big noisy fan that blew onto the card's heat sink. No problem since then, but the noise was deafening, negating the purpose of having a passively cooled card in the first place...
