Hey, I'm new to the forums and I have a problem. I just built a brand-spankin new computer to play games, however, whenever I play anything system intensive, it locks up. Starcraft plays fine and I can play left for dead for hours but UT3 and warhammer online lock up in a few minutes. My system runs pretty cool, so i dont think its over heating.
So...What do you guys think?

System specs
Power supply -
cooler master
500 watts
12v1 16a

Mother board
gigabyte
GA-EP45-UDLR
socket775/PCI-E2.0X16/PCI-ex1/ATX

CPU
intel core duo 3.16ghz
Pentium III xeon

Ram
corsair with 2 2g sticks.

Video card
ATI radeon HD 4850

OS
XP pro

P.S - i didn't post my ram info because I didn't know how to answer. I'm a noob.
