Game Crashes: Random

[Kendrak]

Id there a common reason for a computer to crash from time to time (realy only while in a game) Does not matter what game HL2, Morrowind, Civ4, Homeworld2. I'm thinking my prossesor is getting sick.
I've swaped allmost everything else but the mobo/cpu.
The crash only puts me to windows where I can reload the game and carry on for another 30min to 2 hr before another crash.
Any help/advice is welcome

did you try running prime95 to see if everything is stable?

It could be that your graphics card is overheating, or is experiencing an error. Just something to consider. I'd recommend checking out some stress test tools (prime and memtest are good) to load your system and see what's going on. Also, check your event logs to see if windows is reporting any funk going on.
