Crashing Problems

[eStacy]

I have been able to play my games with no problem now for a while and all of a sudden the past two weeks i haven't been able to run a single game sucessfully without my computer freezing on me. I tried Madden 2003, Counter-Strike, Unreal Tournament 2003 Demo. All these games i have played before fine but now all every single one crashes within the first 3 minutes i play the game. My video card drivers are updated and i even reformatted and I still have the same problem. Does anyone have any suggestions.? i was thinkin its an internal issue.
ANy help would be appreciated.

My System Specs are as follows:
Windows XP Pro
Geforce 4 TI4200
AMD T-bird 1200 w/epox 8k7a
512DDR Ram
55 Gigs of HD space.

I had the same problem with mine... took me forever to finally dianose it to be the video card (is a gf3 ti200), but swapped that out and works great. if you have a spare vid card might want to try swapping it.

Why would my video card stop workin all of a sudden?

I'm not saying that's your problem, said that was my problem.

and b/c parts don't last forever, they eventually (sooner or later) fail.

I just bought the video card i'd say about 3 months ago. would they let me swap for a new one for no charge?
