CivIV and TF2 problems
I play both CIV IV and TF2 for about less than 3 minutes then I get either

1. Freeze with looping sound

OR

2. Freeze with a black screen


I usually have to reboot my PC manually. I have no idea what the problem could be. All drivers are up to date. DX is up to date. I need some help here. I have no problems with games that are not as graphically straining (ie. Diablo II, Counter Strike 1.6, Warcraft III). I'd like some help here.
