try enabling Overdrive and VPU recover under your display settings and see how well it goes.

Overdrive monitors your vid card and throttles the speed so it never overheats. This would count out an overheating problem.

VPU recover would reset the vid card's bios if it's settings made the card unusable.

There are a few hotfixes for the catalyst drivers at www.atitech.com. See if your card is listed to use some of them..

Glasius, you are so sexy.

Re: Really annoying problem
 

None of the hotfixes worked. I can't seem to locate overdrive in my Display tabs.

If your game crashes and your drivers are up to date, chances are it is your memory. Memtest 86 will test it for you, and tell you if you need it to be relplaced.http://www.memtest86.com/ . Burn it as an image to a disk and run it when you start i think. I bet that is your problem.

i am almost 100% certain it is caused by motherboard+ video incompatibility, but i could be wrong, i only say this cause 3 of my friends had the SAME problem, system ran fine, but when they tried to run games it would crash to desktop in 2 mins or less,.. they all changed their motherboards and problem was fixed..
in the mean time keep reading about it..ill research a lil on it too..
post your full detailed specs please.

**UPDATE**

I had 1GB of RAM. I took out one of the sticks and played through several games over the course of the week without any crashes. Memtest86 gave me several errors with both sticks, but when I took one out and ran memtest86 I had no errors. Looks like the stick I took out must have been faulty. All's well that end's well.

Re: Really annoying problem
 

yea with my old comp i had 256gb of ram and added another 256 stick a friend had given me, my computer crashed alot. so i took it out and my computer ran fine again...
