My PC keeps crashing while playing games. It does one of two things it either does a minidump or it just stops reponding and I have to restart it. This first happened with a Quake 3 mod called Urban Terror. So, as it was a downloaded mod I thought it was the program. Since then I have installed a game for my child called "Winnie the Poo Toddler" and it does exactly the same thing. So my next step was to replace the graphics card but this has not improved the situation. The games start fine, and run ok for about 10 min's and then fail. In the past I have formatted the hard drive and reinstalled XP using the Mesh cd but that has not helped either. Please help as the machine is driving me crazy
