My problems began last night while playing bad company 2. The screen would lock up and freeze, while the sound would do a "crackly" loop. So I shut down the computer and restart it, and now I am getting stuck on my logon screen. The computer will restart fine in safe-mode, however locks up as soon as i type in my password when starting normally. I assume that there is some sort of service that is locking it up.
So right now, I have all services and startup items disabled and it starts fine.. I am going one by one through each service and re-enabling it to try to find the service causing problems..
I was wondering if any of you have experienced this before, and if so, what service was causing the issue?
Last night I was able to get back to my desktop twice without disabling any services. Everything appeared normal, however when I got back in the game, I'd be able to play for anywhere from 5-15 minutes, then I'd get the freeze and trouble logging back into windows after that.

I have done some research and found this thread:

as well as others on the evga forum about people experiencing random freezes with their gtx 400 series cards.
I am also only running with a stock heatsink and fan, and have been for the past 4 months. I was told that this could damage my card and I should get a cpu cooler ASAP.
My CPU temp in BIOS is 47.5 C
My Mobo temp in BIOS is 29 C
I also have a thread started at http://www.evga.com/forums/tm.aspx?high=&m=716637&mpage=1#717042 with a few more details.
Any ideas to what is causing these random crashes?
