Hello, first time poster
I built my first PC a month or so ago (I think it was about 10th May). For the first few days, it was working fine. Then on the 15th May, it froze for the first time while playing Football Manager 2011, i thought nothing of it. At this time I was playing The Witcher2 on Ultra Settings without a bother. Then, it then started freezing every time I played Football Manager. It's now happening on PES6 too
Basically what happens is, I'll be playing FM2011, PES6 etc, the game will seem fine and then suddenly everything crashes. A weird looping sound is all that remains
At first, I thought it was a HDD problem as I was getting a clicking noise from my HDD. I got it replaced 2 weeks ago and the problem has persisted
So far I've:
CPU - AMD Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition
Motherboard - Asus M4A87TD EVO
Memory Patriot 2GB DDR3 (x2)
Graphics Card - AMD Radeon HD6950 2GB
Hard Drive - Hitachi 1.5TB
Power Supply - Corsair Professional Series HX850W
Case - Antec DF-35
Any idea's?
Oh, and deepest apologies if this is in the wrong section

So far I've:
- I've done scans for Malware, Spyware and Viruses.
- I've checked the temperatures and performance of my system until it crashed (the highest temperature i've seen is 50degC and it didn't even crash on that)
Here's what i got using AMD System Monitor
- I've run 3dMark on it, which said that performance was low when compared with other similar systems
- I've done a clean boot, still happened
- I reinstallled my graphics drivers
- I disabled my Motherboards onboard audio
- Checked for possible conflicts in device manager
