upgrade your graphics card drivers to the latest one ..also upgrade your chipset drivers of the Mobo..
and try running games at the minimum settings.

Vutonium your issue might be low RAM. what other progs do you have running on your sys. do you have a third party firewall/AntiVirus. run a AV scan.

You may want to check the following.
Your cpu and gpu temperatures.
Your psu...your stock psu may be failing you
Ram...swap with a friend's etc.

I'm facing a similar problem. My PC config is
AMD64 3000+
ASUS A8N-E
512MB Dynet Ram
XFX nVidia 6600 256MB graphics card

I've tried reinstalling windows. I have the latest graphics and motherboard drivers installed. The system temperature is within limits. No viruses. While playing games like NFS carbon and most wanted and some fps, the screen freezes all of a sudden. The sound gets screechy. The only option is to restart the computer. Its annoying when it happens during critical stages of the race.

Anyone knows a solution?

Seems to b a Windows Driver prb. Preferably reinstall ur OS. Also get appropriate updates to XP SP2. Try Autopatcher n chk which one matches ur need (Driver compatibility, updates to drivers, etc.)

Do u think I havent tried all this??
I've been using this PC since 2000.
When it was new with the same hardware it ran fine.
Even I had installed XP Pro licenced when it was just released.
All the patches were installed just when they were released.
Even the service packs.
The problem started an year back.
I've tried every possible thing.
Whenever I had called tech support at home to check my PC the PC worked just fine.

Check your CPU fan. It may be choked of dust. Clean it along with the heatsink. I hope this solves.
