I ran Doom III at ultra quality mode on Windows - and it never crashed.
Also, HL2 doesn't even load the menu!

Keit,
Your video card is fine, however you did not specify amount of your video
memory. Quick search on google gave me this interesting article:

"In Ultra quality, we load each texture; diffuse, specular, normal map at full
resolution with no compression. In a typical DOOM 3 level, this can hover
around a whopping 500MB of texture data. This will run on current hardware
but obviously we cannot fit 500MB of texture data onto a 256MB card and the
amount of texture data referenced in a give scene per frame ( 60 times a
second ) can easily be 50MB+. This can cause some choppiness as a lot of
memory bandwidth is being consumed. It does however look fantastic :-) and it
is certainly playable on high end systems but due to the hitching that can
occur we chose to require a 512MB Video card before setting this
automatically."
Dont use Ultra high :)
