yeah its overheating or maybe the fact that your video card sucks
Hi i need a quick reply,
i have just bought a new computer 3-6 months old and a gigabyte mother board 700pmc or something
i have 2 gb ram
3.2 ghz and pentium D processor.
and an inbuilt 64mb graphics card
up until last week, when i play counter strike (the origional) within 5-20 minutes it freezes and the sound plays the last sound befrore it froze billions of times really fats until i reboot my computer.
i run ad-aware and AVG Anti-0Virus and pick up small bugs all the time and clean them but no big bugs.
if you could help me it would be truely appreciated.

a) the p4d gets insanely hot and draws huge amounts of power- it has huge problems hence the "pentium" architechture being scrapped, and intel moving to the "core" architechture . My guess is overheating or browning out.
b) a 64mb card really sucks. Its probably nit even 64mb, its probably like 2 and steals the rest from sytem ram
