    thank you very much for the comment. Do you have any suggestions on PSUs that are good and would be powerful enough for my system? Also i just played through a few missions with only 1GB of RAM and it works fine. Thanks again for the comment

    crash to desktop when i play Call of Duty World at war

    I am going to take out 1GB of RAM and see if it works with just 1. If it does then i will know it is something to do with the power.

    Games crashing

    Ok thanks a lot of you two. I will have a look at those PSUs on those links you have provided me. The strange is though that it worked with 2GB of RAM in my other games and actually in COH for a few days as well. What do you think of that?

I think i need to update the bios for the motherboard or something like that and then hopefully the games will work with 2 GBs of RAM. Thanks for your help...
