Please, post some computer info:
- processor type, amount of RAM (hold Windows logo key, hit Pause/Break key)
- hard drive size/free space (open "My Computer", right click on hard drive letter, click "Properties")
- security programs in use (antivirus, firewall)


Download, and install SpeedFan: http://www.almico.com/sfdownload.php

yeah, your computer probably had a 'fever' when you tried playing the games so it shut down to tell you it was sick but you didn't understand.

Do what Broni's told you to do ,,,

I would not think so, he said

And for sure thats not a compatibility issue.

    I agree. If you can't install Speed Fan then get CPUZ's Hardware Monitor.
