Most games have stopped working.

I recently bought a new PC and gave my old Alienware Aurora to my brother.

It worked fine before I gave it to him but since we moved it to his house the only game it will play is COD2.

We don't know much about PCs but I took the side off to see if something had come loose inside but it all seems to be ok.

It has 2x HD 6870 in crossfire. The device manager says that they are working fine but I disabled one just to check but that made no difference.

It has 8meg of 1333 ram and a 2 terrabyte HDD.
I can't remember what the mobo is of the top of my head.

Any ideas why it would stop playing all games (Bioshock, Crysis 2, Godsend, Trials Evo) apart from COD2 and why it would happen after moving it please?

Upon launching the games (or attempting to) I get the message that windows has stopped responding, looking for a solution. Then it goes back to desktop.
I can't understand why COD2 would work and not the others.
Could they be running off the motherboard instead of the graphics cards?
