    Can someone help verify if i am having a RAM or gfx card problem?

    I'd guess video card too, I had the same msi 8800gts card that developed crash issues and was able to rma for full refund. I replaced it with a new video card, and the pc has been fine since. also you previously oven baked your card as well. I thought oven baking generally is a temporary fix...
