PC Keeps crashing!

[Alan00000]

I just got a new pc and when i first played dark messiah after 2 hours last night it crashed and froze so i restarted. Same with BF2 after a couple hours of playing it crashes and i need to restart pc. Today i just purchased Uber soldier which is cool game but it just crashed on me agian after about an hour of playing . I have to keep restarting the pc cause it just stutters the sound then goes black.

What could this be ???

I only know the basics about pc's so i dont know what to do . do i need to do somthing in my bios or what .

I installed windows xp last night when i first got the pc out of the box. Its just annoying restarting after a hour or so.

ONLY WHEN I PLAY GAMES IT STUTTERS AND CRASHES!!!!!!



Thanks Alan

Download speedfan (google) and have it monitoring your temps. Load a game into a level, then alt-tab out to see the graph of your temps!

First thing I would do is unistall graphics and sound card drivers. Then install the lastest version of the chipset drivers and then install the graphics and sound card drivers back again.

Having new components that don't work is worse than death!

Ok I talked to the tech guy pretty nice guy he said that they are going to send me a memory tester to see if my memory is bad . If it is tested bad they will send me new memory or a new graphics card if its a GPU problem.

Question? Is there a website i can download a memory tester and do it myself rather than wait for them to send me one in a email. \\

If nothing works after they send me a new memory or card i will simply return it for a full refund.

I didnt want it to come down to this cause i love playing everygame at max settings. Man playing LOST COAST at highest settings and still maintain a 300fps is insane.... thanks guys for the help .
