try updating drivers, or maybe your PSU is failing (if the card is powered)

also, you should check to see if your direct X drivers are messed up by going to START - RUN - type "dxdiag" (without the quotes) and check for problems there. the display tab will tell you about your vid card. check to see if the driver is ok. if the "appx total memory" says "n/a" then you have a driver conflict

Where did you get those games from. Have they been tested on other machines? It may be a problem with those games and not the computer.

was direct draw, direct 3D, and AGP texture accelerations enabled? also, can you play any games at all? or is it just the direct 3D games that fail?
