Overheating my video card?

This is the only game it happens in. I don't know if it is overheating because I have the AMD Overdrive tab up and it says my card never gets hotter than 80/85c. I have an ati 6950 with the latest drivers installed. I do have the very weak graphics overdrive enabled for overclocking.

When I play this game, after around 10 minutes, my monitor goes blank and it says no signal. The only info I've read is a sign of overheating but I doubt 80c is overheating. It runs those temps when I play all my other games. This is the only game it happens in.

Anyone else? Known problem? Fixes?

Got the same problem, except that I finally found out the fans of my video card stopped working.

Under windows it was ok, but any game would make the PC stops.

This occured at 99/100°

My fans are at 50 percent. I cant hear them. This is the only game it happens in. I just played BF3.
Yep. Played multiple games with nothing happening. Come back to this one and it happens. It is this beta.
Doesn't seem to be overheating but I am seeing multiple people with this problem in this beta.
Yep. Having the same issue. I have 8800 GTs 512 in one and gtx 560 in other comp. Friend has ati 58something and after few minutes of game play our fans go wild.
On the other hand, BF3 set on ultra after few hours does not abuse them.
I am reminded of when certain drivers overheated your card while playing starcraft 2. I hope they can figure out what is going on.
Ok. I tested something and I am all like "wow"

I've been playing this game for a few days now and never had problems until today. I made a duelist today and I started having problems. I would play for 10 minutes and it would mess up. I just played my duelist and it did the no signal thing. I am currently playing right now as a different character and it isn't happening. I know it sounds weird but something with the duelist character? All my other characters play no problem but right when I get on the duelist it messes up... ??? hmmmm....

(all my characters are at the same art of the game)
I'm also going to co sign this as my cards run much hotter than any other game on this one. I run dual 570's with a very expensive cooling setup. Liquid cooling, push pull with a multitude of high end fans. I can run heaven or fur benchmarks and it won't go over 75c after a half hour. I run this game for 15min and I'm sitting at 90c. There is an issue here. It happens no where else. I monitor temps on 2 different sources 100% of the time I'm active on my system. Also, before people start questioning if I game elsewhere. I do, on just about everything worth playing that comes out on max settings. This game has been turned down to low and the problem persists.

Reading all those stories I'm starting to wonder if this is not this game that broke the fans of my video card.

The very first crash I had was while playing this game ...
