The saphire ultimate edition uses the zalman cooler. Your case temps might be too high for it to adiquatly cool the card. What are your average case temps? You might want to try removing the side panel of the case. The zalman cooler only works well if you already have good airflow in your case.

Your CPU is really hot, my system crashes if I get mine over 53C. Ae you doing any sort of overclocking? What HS/fan do you have? What TIM are you using?

Yep I bet it is either high temps or your PSU. Take the side of off your case and put a fan right beside it blowing in. See if this helps the problem any. Also Keep an eye on your 5v rails your psu may be fluctauting and causing reboots.
