I just recently bought my computer and built it from scratch.

My specs are:

Windows XP Pro: Fully Updated
Asus a7v333 motherboard
AMD athlon XP 2100+
Asus V3800 tnt 2 32 MB video card: Updated with Nvidias Universal drivers
On Board Sound using: CMedia CMI8738/C3DX PCI audio
Samsung 2700 512 mb DDR ram
Logitech Mouseman Wheel: Using their universal adapters cuase its old
Direct X 9

My problem is any time i try to run games such as Black and White, Thief and Wolfenstein 3, the game starts but shortly after it freezes. The sound does that skipping sound to show it locked up.

How can i fix this?
