Default Problem playing any PC game :(
A while back I ordered a GTX 285 black edition from XFX, upon arrival it didnt work properly so I got it replaced with a new one which has been working fine till now.

My problem is whenever I try to open a game it freezes at the first screen that loads up and locks my computer. Now Im not really sure what the problem is so I didnt really know where to post this. Can anyone help me?

My drives are up to date with the latest.

Games I've tried are Aion(beta), Crysis(1/2) and GTA4.

Another problem could be your PSU. What is the overall wattage and what is the amperage on the +12v rails?

Could you please give us your full system specs, it may very well be the PSU not providing enough wattage/amperage to the GPU.

set the bios to factory to see if maybe your overclock is causing this
