i bought a computer 2 weeks ago

AMD athlon64 5600+
Asus M2NE NF570 Motherboard
2Gigs of ram
500GB hard drive
Geforce 8500GT 512mb

and when i try to play newer games such as Rise of Legends, or flight simulator X the game seems to run fine but then they freeze ten minutes in. But games such as Half Life 2 or CS all work perfectly fine and dont freeze. I took it to the shop where i got it and they said nothing was wrong for them, and I went home to try it again and it still freezes and now im at the point where i am very pissed off. Is there any way i could fix this problem?

Hey, the only thing you can try is to check the requirements for the game. Probably the card dosen't fit with those games. Rather one thing you can try for sure is to upgrade the drivers for your display card from the internet. This will surely help you if you are meeting the requirements of the game.
Let me know after upgrading the drivers.

Take Care:)

Check your temperatures and voltages at startup with PC Wizard with no other programs running. Post back with a screenshot from the 'Voltage, Temperature & Fans' window. Then do the same during gameplay (alt-tab out of the game to see PC Wizard) so we can see how your computer copes under stress.
