Your GPU temp is a bit on the high side. I'd say it should remain under 60. That may be your issue. I'd like to hear from some others on this as I'm not an expert. I run my fans to keep mine under 55. That is, 56 starts red flag territory for me.

Your specs say you're using Version 6.1.7000 Build 7000. Are you still using the Beta? If so I'm surprised it still works at all.

I'd consider changing to the RC Build 7100. Its much more stable and could more than likely fix your problem.

Increasing fan speed or reducing it's load, some times power saver can help it too- but that will slightly reduce performence

Graphics card is a little hot but i don't think it's hot enough to cause a crash at least not with out some additional symptoms.
Do you notice any odd visual artifacts especially issues that increase before a crash? If that is an idle reading and it is much hotter under load the card temp could also be a problem. The beta should be shutting down every two hours by now but that is supposed to be like clock work but i have not tested it it could be more random than advertised. Do you have another OS installed so you can verify this behavior there as well?

The beta expired Aug 1. That's why you can't make it run. You have to run the RC (Build 7100) after that. Click on here in dam89's post above. You can get the RC there.
