Hi! sorry my english, but I'm argentinian

I'm having a problem with crysis and crisys warhead. Just about 4 minutes after I start playing, de computer frozen. Appears a dark blue image and I have to reboot my PC.
I tried updating SP 2 to Service Pack 3, I have installed de last ATI drivers, I run Ati Tool to see if my video card had artifacts, and even more things, but nothing solve the problem and I still can't play. I really do not know what to do.....

My PC is this:
Core 2 DUo E8400
HD 4850 XFX XXX edition
2gb 800mhz Kingston
Mother Gigabyte EP43 DS3L
CX Performance 600 W
320 GB sata 2
Windows XP professional SP 3

These photos show the frozen screen:

Is it only Crysis or other games? Makesure you have the latest patches, that your comp isn't overheating, that the drivers are installed correctly and perhaps if you have another power supply on hand you can try swapping it out, or check in your motherboards Bios that the correct voltages are being output on the 3.3v 5v and 12v rails as a low quality Power Supply is the last thing you want.

It happens only with Crysis and Crysis Warhead. Also with FarCry 2 but not always and after more time.
Other games (such as COD 4, COD 2, Battle for the middle earth, CyC tiberium wars) work fine.

I did an Ati Tool scan to look for artifacts and nothing appeared. It took two hours and the video card was 80º and it continued working fine, and I never had that temperature when playing a game, even with crysis. So i think it isn't overheating and I think the power supply is correct.
