PC Freezes while Playing Game

[darkRae]

My PC randomly freezes while playing video games such as WoW, Warcraft, Warhammer 40k, and the likes. It just freezes, some strange colors appear on the screen (I'll try to take a picture of it later) and no error message, so I have no other choice but to force Shut Down.

The funny thing is that it does not freeze if I do not play a video game and just browse around like this.

Then I checked the Event Viewer (Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Event Viewer) and I found this:

I have tried updating the driver to the latest: this one
My VGA Card is the GeForce GT240 DDR5 Sonic.

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Aside from being a possible issue with the driver having a bug or being corrupted...

It might be a hardware issue with your card. Make sure the card is clean and has adequate cooling (no dust, fans working). Also, it is possible that a malfunctioning power supply can cause such issues.

Can you try swapping the video card into a different machine and see if it still has problems (or even swapping a different video card into your machine)?

Actually, the card I mentioned above is the new one. The problem first occured when I used the old card. Then I followed my cousin's suggestion to change the card and the power supply. Yet, the problem still persists....

Thanks.
