54C is a bit warm but its ok. Not too sure about that error. All I can suggest is a scan disk and maybe a defrag to see it it might help. System specs?

Heat- try running with the case side off and see what the temp does. If it gets noticably cooler, say, 48 then I would invest in more case fans and/or check current airflow(cables and wires might be restricting the flow).
Drivers- Games use your video a lot. Maybe check for driver upgrade. Also check for current directX drivers. cat
