Ever since I put in a new motherboard on my computer, all my games have been crashing after I play for a few minutes. Between 5-10 minutes. Most of them just turn off with no error screen, Warcraft 3 crashes with a memory error saying there's a missing or corrupt memory file or something like that. On a few occasions, my computer just restarted for no reason. The reason I replaced my motherboard was that when I added a new stick of ram, I fried a chip on the motherboard and my computer wouldn't start anymore. Is it possible that the ram I have in my computer is damaged and would cause this kind of error? Are there any other reasons that this would be happening?

No....you have to reinstall your operating system after you install a new motherboard. Make sure to format your hard drive first(this will delete all your files). When i installed my new motherboard, my operating system gave me errors and after i formatted my hd and reinstalled my os, everything was fine. Also make sure that the ram pins are properly inserted into the motherboard.

I reinstalled my operating system and it didn't fix anything. I didn't reformat my hard drive and I REALLY don't want to cuz it'd take weeks to get it back to where it was....

Put another piece of memory instead of the memory you have and see if it still crashes? Also make sure you have a proper page file

Figured I should flesh out this error of mine a little. I've got a Radeon 9500Pro, 80 gig WD hd and a 40gig IBM hd, a 350W power supply and my computer would run games just fine before the motherboard switch. I've done the obvious so far and updated the sound and video drivers, the bios is up to date. The temperatures are running around 60 C for the cpu and it doesn't seem to be overheating from the temperature log I've been keeping with this software that came with my ASUS A7V8X-X motherboard. I've got 2 psu fans, 2 case fans, a cpu fan, video card fan... all sorts of friggin' fans so that it sounds louder than any server I've ever seen so I'm thinking it's not a temperature thing even though that's been the number one concensus on similar problems I've looked up on the net. I'm gonna try and use a different stick of ram when I get home tonight. Asda, what's a page file? Where do I find it and how do I make sure it's okay? If it's not, how can I fix it? The CPU fan's been acting up lately. On a couple of occasions it didn't start up when I turned on my computer until I poked it. I've got my case off so I know it's not crashing because the fan stopped or anything. I'm gonna replace the fan but I don't think that that's the problem either. It runs and a consistent 6000rpm. Ideas?

60C is kinda hign. I suggest a new and better heatsink and fan. Apply a minimum of heatsink compound to the new heatsink and CPU. Too much is probably worse than too little.
