Hi, I got a problem with my PC. Whenever i start a game (ANY GAME), it freezes (just at 1 frame and keep hearing the same sound of that frame. Sounds like rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr :p) after about 1 min or emidietly after the start. I did 2 memory tests: no errors. I have 2x2gb memorys so i tried running with one of them, still crashes. I update all my divers, still crash. I contacted my comp support and they said i have enough power for my system and that the comp is probably overheating so i got some software to check it and theres are the results.

One at the menu and one when i was about 1 minute in the game. (the temperatur drops fast when i alt+tab). As you can see the highest results in the screens is about 60 degrees. But after that i payed about 30 secs more but then it crashes so it probably rose to 60-70 or higher.

Take a can of compressed air and make sure the heatsink is clear too this will vastly improve the cooling also.
