Whenever I try to play a game "Take Command: 2nd Mannasas" I try to load it onto my computer and the computer shuts down and goes to a blue screen that says, that there was a fatal error and it needs to shut down. I am running Win XP, 512 MB, 2.1 processor. The temp is 90. I had a hard drive replaced recently and am wondering if it could be this again. Any help would be greatful.

Try updating your video card driver and Directx. Shutdown any programs running in the background. Run MSCONFIG and disable any background programs that load with your PC that you know you don't really need (for example real player, itunes, adobe, etc). Also try disabling the antivirus.
