newly built pc, every game freezes!

[b12ook]

hi, Just built a computer less than a week ago and every game I played so far freezes for 1-2 minutes while the music will still play than start to loop 30 seconds later and also I would be able to still move the mouse around. I think this could be a graphic card or some hardware issue, but unsure. It does this when playing sc2, LOL, and Forsaken World. Does anyone have an idea to what might be the problem and how to fix it?

Right off the bat I think you need to run a thorough memory test during POST.

Also, you will get more help in the Hardware section of the forums. Thats where we do troubleshooting. Not so much in the PC Gaming forum.

I would go into the bios and make sure that your voltages are set correctly. Undervoltage can cause all kinds of problems especially with your ram. Also check your temps to make sure that nothing is overheating which will also cause the system to misbehave.

And your psu?

How are your CPU and GPU temps? Plus what others mentioned above.

Also, this is the wrong area for this post.

My first assumption is GPU is overheating or is overclocked.

maybe
sound drivers or play back device is not set to default in windows
