Default Games crashing - help please

I am a gamer who needs some real help.

I went out and bought a new system. This is not the first time I have built my own pc before. But this by far the most troubling problems I have ever incountered.

The problem is my games will shutdown after a only a few min of playing.

System:
AMD Athalon 64 4000+
1 GB Corsair Duel Channel PC 3200
Geforce FX 7800GT
600w PSU
160HDD
DFI LANPARTY nF4 SLI-DR Mainboard
Corp Ed Win Xp SP2

Please Help

When your games shutdown does it also cause Windows to crash or just the game?

Do you have the latest drivers installed?

Also check to make sure that the power cable is connected to your graphics card and that it isn't overheating

Could you try and run an old game, for example Farcry or something. Its possible that as you say it could be they haven't sorted out all the bugs yet. Therefore if you try an older game that doesn't require the new features of the graphics card we could then determine the problem.

What games are you trying at the moment?
