did your pc hang only when playing games or does it also hang when doing something else like watching movie? but 8400GS never made for serious gaming. can you post your full spec?

yeah you are bottlenecking your computer somewhere, what is your RAM/FSB speed. your CPU might also be bottlenecking. CPU is much more important for gaming than people give it credit. CS 1.6 is so easy to run, i can run it high detail on my four year old comp with integrated graphics 1GB of PC-3200 2.2GHz single core

what about your cpu & graphic card temp? sometimes overheating may cause the game to hang or system emergency shut down. if thats not the case you can try updating your graphic driver but i doubt that will solve your problem. btw if you really want to play games it is better to get more powerful card like ATi HD4650/HD4670. they are pretty cheap right now
