My problem is that when I play games (tried 3 different games), after 20 seconds to about 5 minutes the games freeze.  This is what I have done so far troubleshooting:  Wiped my C: drive (was going to anyway), reformatted and re installed (my games are always installed on my D: drive one at a time, when I'm through playing a game I uninstall it and install the next game).
                  Re-seated my Ram, Video card, Audio card.
                  Replaced a newer 450Watt Power Supply (the only hardware that was changed since last I played with no problems).
Other than the games, I have no problems, system works great.  Went to PCPITSTOP.COM for a PC Diagnostic and all checked out great.  Ran my Norton Systemworks, all good.  Ran complete Viruscan, all good. NO OVERHEATING ISSUES.
My present system: AM
D ATHLON XP 2400
                   ASUS A7N8X motherboard
                   Kingston 1024MB PC2700DDR RAM
                   Albatron GeForce4 TI4680 Video Card
                   Sound Blaster Live 5.1 Audio Card
                   2-40GB 7200rpm Maxtor Hard drives
                   Enermax 350Watt Power Supply
                   Aopen DVDROM
                   Lite-On 52x32x52 CDRW
                   Enermax Temp Monitor/2 fan controller
                   Vantec-Nexus 4 Fan Controller
                   Viewsonics G220fb 21" Monitor
                   Canon I850 Printer
                   Canon D660U Scanner
                   Microlab M-1600 5.1 Speakers
                   Windows XP PRO
A little overkill listing my system, but better too much info than not enough.
I tried all that I feel may the causing my problem, but it's still there, please help. Thank you in advance
