Stop Error when playing Medieval 2: TW

I get a lockup and this
Error Message: STOP 0x000000EA THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER (Q293078)
randomly when playing Medieval 2 lately.

I updated my drivers to the most recent ones, blew the dust out of the card (which helped, I can get more time before the error occurs) and opened the case up.

It seems like a heat issue, but it's only with M:TW 2. WoW runs fine, as did L4D and DoW2 recently.

The card if an nbvidia geforce 7800 GT.

I played Medieval 2 without problems when I first bought it, so this is something new.
