Is it possible something in either your vid driver or dx9c *could* have 
gotten corrupted?  I haven't had the problems with it you have.  I DID 
have some video issues at the time I installed Doom 3 but they did not 
crash my system.  For me, the two issues I had were fixed with ensuring 
a clean removal of old vid driver, then reinstalling that in safe mode, 
and finally reinstalling (repair) Direct X 9.

Oh, I just noticed you have played the alpha.  Is it still installed and 
runnable on your system?  Some kind of conflict between the two?  Just 
some thoughts,Doom 3 should be running pretty good on your rig.
