Hi, how old is ur system?
AMD+512RAM+40GBHDD, seems pretty old (at least 2-3yrs).

U should check the PSU first
Then RAM and then MOBO battery.

Report back!

this might be due to ur power supply to bro..i think ur internal fan might be jammed!!clean it thoroughly...and even if doesnt run fine..i think u better change ur power supply once and try it!!!good luck!!chandal

CMOS battery had been changed a month back.. bt yeah.. i installed GTA SAN Andreas game.. and played it for a couple of weeks.. this problem started just after that.. :-(

Hmmm, pretty old M/C. Check ur PSU. It may be the reason. And clean all internal Fans.

It looks like a RAM problem then, or maybe ur CPU overheating
