It seems every full screen game I own inevitably crashes or freezes about 2 minutes (or earlier) into gameplay. The screen freezes, but sometimes the soundtrack carries on, to the extent that nothing will work, not even ctl alt delete. It does this for just about everything, from undemanding games like Deus Ex to Max Payne 2 to Call of Duty. The only exceptions to this appear to be the original grand theft auto and civilization 4 (which merely flickers, prompting a restart and then works fine from there on) Deus Ex works fine in safe mode if I turn off 3d sound and keep it in a sizable window (not fullscreen) - but the instant I turn that off it crashes.
I have a GeForce 6200, AMD sempron 2800+, realtek AC97 audio, 1GB RAM.
