This is what I did:

I left my case opened and played some games while a temp monitoring tool was running (along with Forceware's own tool). The system didn't crash so I thought it was an temp problem like you all said. Then I tried to repeat the test with the case closed. The system didn't last 5 minutes before it crashed. The weird part is that the system didn't overheath (judgind by the numbers).
Then my brother thought that maybe some cables were making contact with the motherboard or something like that, so proceded to rewire the system. It has been working very well since then. Thank you very much for the help anyway.

By the way, since my system is working fine I've thinking of softmodding my video card (it's an AGP version, so I know the chances of success are high). Is it worth trying or do you think that's just asking for it?
