Default Game Problem: Computer Freezing
My computer freezes when ever I play games like Counter Strike Source, NFS Pro Street, World in Conflict etc.......

This occurred when I recently upgrade my 7300LE to 8600GT and 533MHZ 512MB RAM to 2x 667MHZ 1GB RAM

I have no idea why this happening...please help!

Additional Info:

PC Model
HP Pavilion a1595d Home PC

Motherboard (supports RAM:400/533MHZ VIDEO CARD: 16X graphic card)
Board: Hewleet-Packard Asterope2 1.0
Bus Clock: 200 megahertz

Any idea what are the problem of my computer? I ran PC Doctor 5 and nTune, both of them did not detect any problem.....

Games are CPU intensive, make sure your CPU fan is not clogged with dust.

Power supply is feeble.
Also nTune is unstable garbage.

That means that I only need to change my power supply and everything would be OK?
How bout my RAM? Do I have to change it? Since my RAM is a 667MHZ and is connected to a motherboard that support 400/533 MHZ.....
