Quirky card...

How do you underclock?

67c? thats a bit warm for a 8800. I have a gtx 280 oc and that card is notorious for running in the high 80's. With extra fans running and an aftermarket cooler my card hits between 48-51C.

I was running 2 8800gt's in sli and never had them heat up anywhere near 67c.

the messed up graphics is defiantly video related.

Try using either EVGA precision or MSI Afterburner to set your cards cooling fan to 100% at all times. Seems the gpu is hot that means the vram chips are getting hotter which causes the the glitches. No need to underclock the 8800. Its a great card and does great in ME and ME2. Had mine for a few yrs before jumping to the 1gb cards.

Edit: another thing to try is relocating your psu wires out of the way so more airflow from the front air intake fans are not disrupted.

Alright, if I try to play Mass Effect, it crashes after about 1-20 Minutes.  Both of my monitors turn a weird color and the PC freezes, I monitored the temperature of my GPU and it goes up to about 67°C.

Some specs of my PC:

Intel Core 2 Duo E6600

GeForce 8800GTX

2 x 1GB DDR2

Asus P5N32-E SLI

Win7

I don't hat this Problem on Dragon Age, don't have it on Crysis (very high) either.

Soo, I dunno what to do, really.

Steam version, by the way.

This was a five month old message thread, and 67 Celcius is a "normal" temperature for a 3D capable graphics card, not particularly high at all.  What I don't see in the OP's message is any clarification of whether it is ME-1 or ME-2.  Very many of nVIDIA's Geforce drivers were in serious conflict with Mass Effect 1, and many caused the game to fail with a GPF error message. 

For a short time after ME-2's release, both ME-1 and ME-2 shared the same Tech forum, this one. 

There also was no mention of the drivers used, so this thread started off poorly documented for diagnostic purposes.  I'm not at all sure it was a good choice to ask about Underclocking in, since there have been quite a few over the past five months covering that. 

I will read on, but at this point, this looks more like something that should have remained buried in the graveyard of old posts.

This one was near the top of what Google came up with:
