first, monitor the temps by using "coretemp" for the cpu, rivatuner/msi afterburner for the gpu.

second, download "whocrashed", i believed what you mean by "Stops responding" is a bsod, whocrashed can point to which is the culprit.

third, what game are you playing? does this happen on every other game?

fourth, update win7, update your videocard drivers.

fifth, try to run that game with crossfire disabled.
