I'm not overclocked. I took the case off last night and was planning to do as you suggest - run that way with another fan to help air it out. As an additional data point, the other night while trying to troubleshoot this I shut the box down to pull a card and then re-inserted a few minutes later. When the box came back up (some 10-15 minutes later), everything worked like a charm. Maybe this overheat thing is the trick. I'll let you know.
