Hi there, i was hoping someone here might be able to help me with a problem.

I have just bought a new machine

Intel Core Duo 2.66GHz
2MB Ram
ATI Radeon X1950 Pro
Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit.

To go with my machine a got myself a few new games to, this is where the problem lies.

Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 - Runs like a dream

Bioshock - Always crashes at second load screen (although i do believe this is due to game bugs rather than my machine)

FarCry - Always crashes after about 5 min of uninterupted gameplay (always at different points)

Worlds In Conflict - Can play all the tutorials fine but will always crash about 5 min into game play (always at different points)

Basicly does anyone know why all these games keep crashing on me. I got this pc so i could play games of this level without any problems.

Any help is much appreciated.

In the vista scan it says all my drivers are up to date.

I did update my graphics card to the latest drivers and also a patch that was to try and help bioshock.

Explain what you mean in crash, does it freeze or do the games quit out?

They just completely freeze. Cant quit the game, bring up task manager, or get back into windows. Always have to hit the reset on my machine.
