Sapphire x800gt02 driver problem/reboots

I`m having a problem withthis card. I got it very cheap a few months ago and
am more than happy with it except that in one older game I play (Blitzkreig)
I`m getting reboots. Dont believe it`s a cooling problem as temps are low
and it continues to do it with the case open. Also I cant replicate the
problem under stress (3dmark2001, 2006).
Any words of advice (best driver for the card, etc.) would be greatly
appreciated.

Found the problem, dust in the heatsink ducting. Couldnt see it until I took
off the card cover with the idea of reinstalling the heatsinks/thermal
paste.
Thanks for the advice.
