Why would you want to install a game, play it, then uninstall it, and then do that again each time you want to play it? Your registry must be pretty messy by now. I hope you run scandisk and defrags daily after making sure to empty out your temp files. That must be a lot of installing and uninstalling. If I were you I'd start over with wiping your hard drive clean and installing the games permanently.
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.

>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
