Very hard to say since this is such a general problem but since all of this happened after your near meltdown I have to wonder if that's the problem.

System crashes during games (when the game is known to work) are usually due to video or sound driver issues or hardware issues such as overheating GPU or CPU. It could be your system is simply unstable under heavy load and games are the only thing you have been doing to stress the system. I would download a burn in test like Orthos and see if it too produces errors. If so this would take possible sound or video issues out of the equation and point more toward CPU/MOBO/RAM type problems which would tend to implicate the possible damage the system took.

I trust you are using stock settings until you sort this out?

PS Did you update your Radeon drivers during this time? If so I would roll them back before trying anything else.
