I'm using this PC to type, actually. Only games freeze the computer and it happens immediately.
I can get to the main screen just fine, and I can configure video settings all I want without a problem. Once the actual graphics starts, however, it's an immediate freeze (with an audio loop), which leads to BSOD.
L4D2: Loading screen completes. Not even one frame plays. Freeze (with audio loop). BSOD. Computer restarts.
Skyrim: Loading screen completes. A couple seconds in the prisoner carriage. Freeze (audio loop, too). BSOD. Computer restarts.
Starforge Alpha: Can't even get into a game. Freezes at loading screen (music still plays, strangely). BSOD. Computer restarts.
What are all the possible explanations for this?
Specs:
GT 640
Core 2 Duo e6750
Gigabyte G41MT-S2PT
300w Rosewill (I was told this would be more than enough for the GPU. Would this definitely be the problem?)
