hello, i recently bought a new computer. 3.2 ghz processor, 1024 mb RAM, GeForce 6800 ulta. when i play games such as unreal and painkiller, 5-10 minutes into playing, my computer freezes up and i can't do anything. i have to restart my computer. i have 3 fans and my temperature gauge says that i never exceed 33 degrees celcius, so i don't think that that is the problem. can someone please help me? thanks.

Which 3.2GHz CPU is it? Which motherboard? MCSE, MCSA Messaging, baby!

my bad...it is the athlon 3200+, the motherboard is "Albatron K8X800 Pro Via-K8T800+8237 Chipsets w/5.1 Sound, LAN, USB 2.0 8x AGP" (copied and pasted from order form). i don't know much about computers, but people have said it might be the RAM or the drivers...i updated my video card drivers, but its still messing up. someone recommended taking out one of the 512 sticks of RAM and seeing if one of those is faulty, does that sound like a good idea?

Try updating your VIA drivers first. http://downloads.viaarena.com/drivers/4in1/via_hyperion%204%20in%201_v453v.zip MCSE, MCSA Messaging, baby!
