my free space is 93GB
and the games i play are RF online, Return to the Castle: Wolfenstein Enemy Territory

i crash like hell after playing for sometime...could this be due to overheating GPU? cuz my PSU is 305W

G965 is an integrated graphic by intel and i don't think so it has a fan with it

That error usually implies a problem with RAM. If you were low on RAM the hdd will help take up the slack, but if you have 93GB of free space then this shouldn't be a problem. Two things come to mind, if you have a build up of dust on the CPU heat sink and fan assembly you could be having an over heating problem.

Try looking in the Event Viewer and see what is being listed at the time of these events. Start> right click on My Computer> Manage> Event Viewer. Make sure that you have the system error records. The error will appear as red dots with a white X inside. At the top of the columns there are title for each one, the Event column is the one that you will want. The errors will show in the left hand margin, find one and follow it across to the Event column. Right click on the number in that column and choose Properties, another page will open with a description of the error. Please post the actual numeric code/s in the Event column and their descriptions.

Extras: one of my friends say that in the code 0x9c in the stop code says that it has something to do with the Direct X 9.0C is there any possibilities?
