why is this happening i have a packard bell 1706 and i changed thee graphics card to 256mb ati sapphire, the games im playing are mafia and battle field 2.thanks

Are you getting any errors?, if so what are they? Have you tried updating your graphics cards drivers?

yes i have updated and no errors it just stops and goes to the destop.

How long ago did you install the game? It might be down to either a currupt install or a virus.

What video card were you running previously?

Has this problem only started happening since you installed the new video card?

If so then it may be that your PSU cannot support the new graphics card and you might need to upgrade it.
