Hey everybody!
I'm new here so I don't know if there is any other topic related to my problem.
So, as the title says, when I play games at 640 x 480 (specifically "Need for Speed: Most Wanted") it works great without any problems. Also, with Minecraft, it opens in a little window and, when I play, while it's at that size, it works fine.
BUT... when I change the video settings of "NFS: MW" from 640 x 840 to 1600 x 1200 (that's my monitors' * resolution) or when i play Minecraft and make the window a bit bigger and play for a little while, my computer crashes
Specifically: the sound "lags" while the screen is black and my computer makes the same sound as if it boots up. And what I have to do is switch it off from the main switch and just boot it up with a screen saying "Windows didn't shut down properly..." bla bla... and with the options of going into safe mode or just run windows normally.
- My graphics card is a NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT with "Approximate Total Memory" of 1777 MB. My current display is 1600 x 1200 (32 bit) (60Hz)
- Operating system is Windows Vista Home Premium
- Processor is Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q9400 2.66GHz
- RAM is 3070MB
(For all the info I just looked at "dxdiag")
Thank you for your patince to read all this

*I have dual monitors
P.S. I'm not a hardware guy. I'm more of a software guy so please explain in a bit more detail so that I can understand
