Windows XP Crashes when playing Red Alert 3.

Hello, everytime I start playing Red Alert 3, my computer crashes.

Being more specific, I run my game it appears the EA logo, everything fine, I start playing normally,
then at a certain point my computer crashes; it doesn't crashes at a specific point (like after opening any feature from
the game crashes or something, nor at certain amount of time) is unpredictible.

They have told me that it has to be with my Codecs messed up while playing video, or my Video Card, that makes the crash but........

Before RA3 came out i bought a new Video Card, I use to play RA3 just fine but somehow at this time I can't play anymore.

Also my computer crashes when I play MPEG-4 Videos on QuickTime; when I watch like 3 or more videos on YouTube on my internet browser
my computer also Crashes.

This hting is driving me crazy, I already deleted some Codec Packages but the problem persist, I even use the Fix It Tool to fix my Codecs
that Microsoft provides, but it already "fixed" some codecs but the problem persists, and now that it "fixed" some issues it doesn't find any
other errors AND the problem persist.

I also was installing AutoDESK to do some works from school, and when I opened AutoCAD, as always my computer chrashed.

Click here to see my video card info. (It is just a screen shot I took in my computer); I'm running Windows XP 32.

    Hi,

    This might not be the same as you issue,

    But i had the same thing on my PC but with a couple more games, i realized that at a certain point it was overheating due to simple clutter inside the tower. 

    i hope this might help.

    Cheers,
