 No I was not able to do that.

In that case:

1) What modification had you already applied when Crysis crashed at startup?
2) What further modification was required to fix the problem?

For temperature problem:

- VM = Windows XP, Windows 7. There is no temperature problem while
playing native Windows games. I played Crysis 2 and no temperature
problem.

- VM = Linux. This issue occured with this card when playing native
Windows games using Wine.

So it occured only for Linux (VM)

Aha! Now I understand! So either the fan control in Linux is broken
or the Windows driver does some temperature management throttling
that the Linux driver doesn't. Have you tried manually setting
the fan speed to maximum? I could have sworn there were Linux
utilities for this ages ago, but I haven't really kept up with
things because I haven't looked into it recently.

What temperature were you hitting on the GPU? IIRC Nvidia GPUs
are rated to 95C, and only throttle after that (or at least that
was the case back when I was running number-crunching on multiple
9800GX2 cards.
