My case runs about 84 degrees F.

Now thats a cooler with some nuts to it biggrin:
As for freezing its not always the gfx card, could be a cpu overheating a sound card driver glitch or anything like that. If you're overclocking your gfx or cpu try backing it down to default speeds. If you;re using a via based motherboard you could try updating the 4in1 drivers too.
