Question computer refuses to run games..

(hope i've got the right forum for this!)

Ok, sometimes after running my pc for a while, when i go to run a game, it won't run - i'll either get some sort of vague error message, or the game will act like it has loaded - i'll get a button for it on the task bar, but it doesn't do anything. If I restart the computer, and try to run the game then it'll work just fine...
Anyone have any idea why it could be doing this?

I've got an ASUS A7N8X Deluxe mb, AMD Athlon 3000+ 333MHz FSB, albatron GeForce FX 5600 Ultra video card, 1 GB PC2700 DDR RAM, Windows XP Pro ...

thanks in advance

(edited to correct motherboard)

Hi sylvrzebra,

Are you running the latest video and motherboard drivers?
