update,

played some more this weekend and the game crashed 2 different times. in both cases the screen went blank i openned task manager and alt+tabbed out of the game, to see vista message saying "your video driver has stopped responding and has since recovered". the game however was completely crashed and i had to shut it down.

so then i assume its clear as to what the problem is...

or is there anything else that can cause this?

btw my temps at the time, CPU @49C, mobo @48C, GPU @59C

If thi is the case, the card is fine and the drivers are the problem. My parent's PC has Windows Vista and it used to do the same thing (although it had Intel GMA 950 or something like that). The thing is, when video drivers crash in XP, it'll BSOD. In Vista, I think they moved the drivers to the user, so if they crash in Vista, they can just restart, thus the alert after they've recovered. Intel has poor drivers for Vista apparently, becuase his kept doing that when he played his basketball game (not graphically demanding at all). I bought him a cheap Saphire Radeon X1550 256MB (and 2GB, since he had only 1GB for Vista) and apparently ATi's Vista drivers are good, becuase he said his game no longer freezes and his PC is quicker.

Point is, that message means it's the drivers, so while you're stuck with the problem, the card is good. Those temperatures are also within spec.
