It might be worth seeking help here http://www.msfn.org/board/forum/5-hardware-hangout/
I've found help there in the past and if there's any logs or memory dumps that Windows creates, they should be able to help you find and analyse them for clues.
I know you've got a new PSU but as you're only crashing when gaming, I wonder if the GPU isn't getting enough power when loaded. If it uses a PCI-E connector for extra power and you've got access to a voltmeter you could check that there's 12v on it (with it disconnected from the GPU).
It might be that Alwarren is right about there being a fault with the motherboard that only shows up under load/heat and maybe that's affecting the power supplied to the GPU through the slot and/or the data lines. You can only really rule that out by trying another GPU with similar power draw, or putting the GPU on another motherboard.
I know how annoying this must be for you. I went through 3 motherboards before I realised it was the PSU that was faulty, as it worked fine with another board I had, which obviously didn't load the PSU enough to trigger the fault.
