Error close thing

well i built this computer and i put a couple of games on it like ghost recon, oblivion, and black and white 2 and for some reason when i play them after about an hour they close saying error and sometimes restart.

I have a 7950 gt nvidia gpu and 2 wd raptors so i not sure if this is a graphic card problem or hd problem those 3 games are on my 2nd hd.

Have you tried reinstalling the games? What kind of error are you getting? Have you tried possibly seeing if this is an issue with the game by going on their websites and trying to find a solution to your problem?

Is your computer up-to-date with Winodws Updates? Is it check regularly for spyware/viruses? This could be a possible problem to your games. If your positive your computer is in good shape it may be a technical problem such as inside your PC.

You should also try checking the Event Viewer in Administrative Tools for any Application and/or System errors. If you check the Event Viewer around the times in which your games crashed you should get more details on the error. That should help more in describing the specifics of the problem.

Oh and just in case you ought to try running Everest (I'm not sure if it's free anymore though); but if you have it you should generate a report on your system and see if you get any errors at all from it.
