my friend is having a problem with his cs. everytime he plays cs after like 1 minute everything freezes. the keyboard and mouse doesnt work adn the game just freezes. it doesnt happen in windows only when playing games. ive tried reformatting for him and that doesnt work.

checked if its overheatin/ negative cpu temp is 38-45 C

system does not reset itself, it just freezes

there is no error message and cannt get out of cs any other way but by turning off the system

there is no OC, no aggressice memory timings, fast write is off. the system worked for games before but know i dont know...i tried reinserting the video card and memory but same thing happened.
