Another blue screen guyFollow

Well, I got FFXI for a month now, and I got to lv15 w/o any crashes or other troubles. But recently my pc crashes during FFXI. I searched the forum here and I did everything possible, but the game still just goes to a blue screen sometimes and the sound goes mad. It's just a blue screen, there's nothing on it, and it only happens when I run FFXI.
My system:
Asus P4P800 (at 10% overclock but never gets above 40 C)
P4 HT 3.00 GHZ (at 3,3ghz due to overclock, never gets above 50 C)
1024 Dual Channel DDR 400 RAM
Ati Radeon 9600 XT 128mb (which might be the problem since FFXI hates Ati)
SB live 5.1

My usb slots had the same IRQ as my videocard, so I just disabled those, now nothing shares an IRQ adress. I also tried disabling the Overdrive and VPU recover options. I completely formatted my pc after all the above not working, reinstalled WinXP pro, reinstalled POL and FFXI, installed my catalyst 4.6 drivers, and still the game gives me a blue screen every once in a while. I never changed any settings that could make FFXI from working fine to a crashing game.

By the way, I run background resolution at 1024x768 and my overlay at 1152x864, I have MIP mapping enabled, texture compression to low, on-screen maps uncompressed, bump mapping on, environmental animation on smooth, soundeffectnum on 12, enabled harware mouse cursor and I use a Trust Firestorm Dual Power 2 gamepad.

Are there any other things I can do? I really need to fix this, since my whole pt died yesterday because me, the white mage crashed during battle >.<
Oh, and I'm in Europe if it matters (got the game by import)

I have 2 casefans, my temperatures are as following:
This is the highest temperature in my log while playing FFXI
| Case | CPU | Sensor 3 | Core 0 | Core 1 | +3.3 | +5.00 | +12.00 |
| 41° C | 44° C | 0° C | 1,50 V | 0,00 V | 3,36 V | 5,05 V | 11,86 V |

Idle at
| Case | CPU | Sensor 3 | Core 0 | Core 1 | +3.3 | +5.00 | +12.00 |
| 41° C | 35° C | 0° C | 1,57 V | 0,00 V | 3,41 V | 5,03 V | 11,98 V |

The problem can show up anytime. Today I logged in (I logged out while in moghouse) I harvested from my 4 plants, and then after about 3 minutes (only been in moghouse, never exited) it crashed again. It shows up after extended sessions too.

I get no error message. My screen is just blue, the sounds stops but makes a weird noise. There isnt an error, just a blue, empty screen.

Eeerr, I have done research on how to overclock, and started with an old computer. I overclock with extreme caution. I can easily put my pc on 30% overclock, and after 3 times 3dmark03, the temperature was only 50 C. Obviously, no problem. But for the sake of my cpu, I put it on 10%, and as you see, only 44 C stressed. Now I also looked up what intel processors have as a maximum temperature, and it appears that even 60 C isn't a problem.
It would be very, very unlikely that I damaged my system. And it would be even more unlikely that I damaged my pc and only FFXI suffers from it, because all other games I have (thief3, farcry, americas army) just work fine. I also tried disabling the overclock and run it normal. I have the same temperature stressed, and still FFXI crashes.
So I'm really sure I didnt damage anything.

Well, let's say I did damage something. My pc is only 2 months old, so I can always return it, or get it fixed. If I bring it back, what would need to be fixed? (most likely ram or videocard I guess?)
