Quote:you can bring up the Task Manager by holding the Ctrl and Alt keys similtaneously and hitting the Del key once.
then press the PrtScn key on your keyboard and then paste this into a new document in the MSPaint app. Once pasted you can save as a JPG file and post this screen dump.
I would recommend not saving it as a BMP file as these are very large files
Also, while in MSPaint you can edit and crop the image for a smaller size and for editing out any info you don't want to show

Try alt-printscreen.
I have had problems like this before. It has always been due to a scratch on the disk in the cdrom. If this is happening for all games, you might try using a different cdrom if you have one.

defrag your hard drive - empty your temp and temp inet files folders.
Something else I thought of. It might be the PSU dying. If it can't supply enough juice for your processor, video card, hard drive, cdrom and whatever else this could happen.

That's top of the line isn't it? If you upped your video card up that much that might be the case. Any idea what how many Watts your PSU has? A lot of the "bargain price" PCs will come with barely enough to run it with the stock parts.
If this happens just in games and you have a high range videocard, my money's on the psu.
I don't know if there are any applications you can download to test it or not.
