anytime i try to run ANY games the system just freezes and i end up having to restart it. Even when i'm watching a movie, surfing the net or just leave the computer alone for five minutes this happens.it's not a software problem because i tried re-installing windows and wipping everything out but it frooze even while doing that. Any suggestions about what the problem might be?

Could you play games before? Maybe it's overheating. Unplug the computer and open it up. Is there a lot of dust? Buy a can of compressed gas, (any office store should have it) and open the windows. As the cans say using it in a inadequately ventilated space can be dangerous. Ground yourself and spray out the dust or just have a pro do it.

I agree to some of the points cutie has pointed out. She sure seems to be a professional.
Although i feel she has missed out on one simple fact. The problem might be of your RAM memory. Try removing it, clean it up and try putting it back. If it still doesnt work , try using the RAM in some other PC. If the other PC too experiences the same problem, bingo you got your man.
Try this out and if it still doesnt work, well it might then be something from what cutie has mentioned.

Cuite gives a good answer but i would also check to see if you have hardware issues.
Do you have enough memory, hard drive space, adequate videocard/motherboard to run your applications.

delete all the partitions on your hard disk and create them again. format them.if your comp is still chilled, then you need a faster ram. if you would tell full system configuration, i could help you more

TO STOP ALL THAT FROM GOING ON your network
you do make sure you call your (isp) or this will happen
is your pc still slow & your internet you have done a full system scan
with your anit virus /anti spyware you even defragmenter your hard drive
done a scan disk but your pc is still slow and your internet is not as good
then you need to check your router it dont mater what router you have
people in the vicinity is on your network
you call your (isp)
GET THIS SET TO DISABLED
(GAMES & APPLICATION SHARING )
it dont matter what router you have you need to get
(GAMES & APPLICATION SHARING ) set to disable
is your router safe?
you need to call your (isp) server
they have to get you in to your router home page
then from there ..copy & paste the router home page
into a notepad then save that to a back up cd
now from there they have to take you to the part
where (GAMES & APPLICATION SHARING ) is
then you click on ( GAMES & APPLICATION SHARING) icon
then at the top of the page on the right your see
configure.. you click on configure
then you .. UN-TICK .. the box ( GAMES & APPLICATION SHARING)
that is ticked there ...
then you click look down the page your see

if you have a wireless router
and then ask them where you set up a wpa-security key dont use a 128bit wep key ask to use a wpa- security that is your router security key and you pick the wpa-security key not your (isp)server . just ask them where you set one up they will say use a wep-key ..ignore them you say your going to use a wpa.key and want to know how to set one up and remember you pick the wpa-key not your (isp)server or they will use your network
