what chipset has your motherboard got and what is the onboard graphics, we need detailed specs to even begin to diagnose.

Does the problem only occur when you are playing such games? It could be that there is too much stress on the system, several factors I can think of; overheating, incorect bios settings, power. These are some things you may want to check.

Maybe computer has problems with cooling. Check your VGA temperature.

Did you overclock the cpu? might be results of a unstable OC....

If you downloaded the game (such as on a p2p network) then the game will sometimes freeze. That happened when my friend dl's Hitman 2. You would get 10 minutes into the game and it would freeze.
