You may just be exceeding your RAM limits for the games you are using.
Vista Home Premium requires 512 MB of RAM to run correctly (less will run but will not support all applications). Your game may require more than you have installed, so check your game instructions to see how much RAM is required (or recommended).
If it appears you have adequate RAM for your games, your RAM may be failing. If you have more than one stick of RAM, try using only one stick at a time and see what reaction you get. You may be able to find the bad stick this way. Also, are your sticks "matched", meaning they are the same size, speed and brand? Different size (even brand) RAM sticks sometimes are not compatible, especially under extreme conditions.
If everything checks out with your RAM, you may have a graphics card problem. But I am fairly certain it is your RAM.

Notepad and Wordpad are the two element of Vista and XP. No version of homestead windows has ever contained any element of MS place of work. place of work has continuously been a separate software that must be offered and put in. you are able to continuously try OpenOffice, that's a unfastened, open source place of work suite. acquire and deploy Java first, then OpenOffice.

what is your memory made up of
2x512 chips? need to know cause one of your memory banks is duff
if you have 2x512 then swap them around (change slots)
to test each, take one out do a post test and see what the maximum memory is for each bank
