Well, before the techheads get here (like Rince) I will say this, try updating your Videocard, Soundcard and Motherboard drivers. Throw the latest DX on there too.

Well, theres always the Microsoft Loop Error. If you are getting that, I feel for ya. Go search for some answers on the VIA forums. Failing all that, Take it to the Head.

seems that is the same problem, what I got with my pc!
some games, which suddenly stop and I get a black screen and must reset my pc:
-RavenShield
-SplinterCell
-there where some other games, which I cannot remember.
...looks like my pc don't like the unreal engine!!!
I think it has something to do with directX, but iam not sure about that.

prolly a hardware defect i.e. a fan stopped working so your graphic cards or cpu gets to hot and it freezes / reboots...

A lot of gamers assume they have pretty up to date drivers. Pretty up to date doesn't mean they have the "latest" drivers! It would be a great help if gamers would list their system specs:

brand of mb
processor speed
ram at least 512mb (1024 would be so much better)
brand and model of video card+ram (at least 128mb)
video driver version
how high do you set the in game options?

Games over the last couple of years are oriented toward the high end machines!!

oh god your freezing prob reminds me of another problem, which i had with my pc(wasn't very funny!). so I would say it is not a driver problem, but a hardware prob like cdkiller said...
my hd was broken and the reboots took very long, too.(at the end it wasn't even possible to reboot!!)

Well, google for a program called memtest86 and use it to test your memory. Lots of people have bad memory and don't know about it because they can play for a while before they crash.
