I have a computer for last few months and it worked just fine. I have nVidia GF 8800 GTX card. However, until last summer, whenever I play some games with stronger graphic needs for a little longer, my computer freezes and restarts. Could I have problem with cooling of my video card because of improper Video card voltage, .8V, .1.5V… ? Are water-cooling video card systems good?

You are probably partial right in your diagnose. You are probably experiencing problems with overheating either your nVidia GF 8800 GTX video card or your chipset or processor. However, I don't think that is because of your video card voltage. That was important with AGP cards and you have PCI Express card. There are water cooling systems for every of those computer parts. Those systems became popular, because classic coolers are prone to blocking. However, in the last period, the most popular is passive cooling system with heatsink. Those systems are practically undestroyable, and I like them the most. They do not need any kind of cleaning or maintenance. If you aid them with few case coolers, I think you will be safe enough.
