In BIOS set the RAM voltage to 2.1v, the BIOS defaults to 1.8v. Also set the RAM speed to 800MHz. and the timings to specs also, 5-5-5-15. Also, if your case has a side panel fan slot install a fan to blow directly onto the video card, that could help to cool the card's RAM which could be overheating under stress causing the problem. You didn't mention your power supply which could also be underpowering your system (video card). Be sure to bump the voltage to the RAM to 2.1v and see if that solves the problem.

RAM voltage/specs.
Case cooling
Power supply
faulty video card?
