Problem playing games

G

Guest

Hi
Can anyone help me with this problem?

My system has:

Dual Pentium4 3.4Gh processors.
Radeon 9800 Series graphics, with the latest version 5.7 Catalyst drivers.
1gb Ram memory.
A TFT Monitor.
Operating system Windows XP Home V5.1.2600 with SP2

Some time back I installed:
Medal of Honor- Pacific Assault
FIFA 2003
And recently
Age of the Empires 11 Trial

At the start of the three games everything is fine, the Graphics are smooth
and clear, the sound is perfect.

The system then drops out and restarts at random times in the games.
Sometimes they play for only 5 minutes and other times for 30 or more minutes.

When the system restarts, it sometimes boots to the logon screen and other
times brings up the file checker before it goes to the logon.

I have had the system checked for the ability to play the games at
Microsoft.com,
The system is way above the benchmark to play them.

Things I have done to try and get them to play:

Disk clean up.
Error checking.
Clean out temporary files
Delete files incl. offline content
End start up programs - Except the essentials
Use refresh rates 60 to 75 hertz
Use msconfig to disable all in startup tab
Tried different screen resolutions

I shut down:

Anti Virus
Anti hacker
Spam killer
Auto updates
Privacy setting

I even ran the games in safe mode with the same result.
