PLZ HELP!!!

[saloniker]

Hallo there. I am really having a serius problem. When i play some games my computer freezes or restarts without reasons. The screen remains stable ( NOTHING MOVES ) and the sound too. After that i can't do anything else expect manual restart fron the reset button from the case. It always happens to Need for speed Underground ( it does not matter if i play for 1 hour or one min it always happens ). It also happens but not so frequently in games like worm-3d ( one time in iss pro 3 ) and warcraft 3 ( some times it gave me error messages like that:
This application has encountered a critical error:

Pull out one stick of memory, run programs and see if problem still happens. Run other stick of memory by itself see if problems happen. If problems only happen on one stick then rma that stick or buy a new one to match what you have in the computer already.
Sounds like one of the sticks is bad. I had problems similiar to yours. ended up being a bad stick.
