Plz help Comp Crashes in games

Comment:
I need help with this crashing problem. My computer is a Thermaltake and it's supposed to avoid heating problems, but it seems that in games with high demands it rises to about 115-120 degrees (F) and "crashes", but i can hear music still playing on my speakers but my screen turns black.
my monitor is a high-quality viewsonic and my computer is fine otherwise, but i really need help with this problem!

I will also note that i defrag, clean my drive, clean my machine of dust and basically refurbish it at least once a week.

Temps should be reported in Celsius. 115-120 degrees (F) = 46-49C & that's a very good temp for a CPU under loaded conditions. In other words, it's NOT overheating.
It would help if you'd list your system specs...CPU, motherboard, RAM, video card, power supply, etc. It would also help if you'd list which game(s) is giving you problems.
BTW, your computer is not a Thermaltake...my guess is that's the brand name of the computer tower/case. Possibly one of these?

Yeah, i recognize mine as a Lanfire Xaser III.
But anyway, im not huge on tech-related things and the specifics of my computer, but i do know that i have an Asus motherboard and have never had trouble with disk space. Can you tell me where i can find the other specifics you requested?

Also, I am currently playing Hellgate: London under DX 9 and virtually minimum visuals and its still crashing 10-12 minutes after I start it up. Although I had the EXACT same problem with World of Warcraft and Battlefield II.
