Problem with PC while playing games...

    Hi All,
    Over the last few days my pc has developed a nasty habit of crashing while Im playing games on it. I startup a game (PES4 or Counter Strike usually), it plays for a few minutes, then I hear a click coming from the hard drive area and the pc crashes... Only happens when playing games so I'm thinking it may be video/graphics card problem.

    Before I start tinkering around, anyone got any ideas?

    check

    1.power supply.

    2.check computer temps for signs of overheating.

    3.Switch the gfx card and see what happens.

    I ran scan disk and that found a few bits and fixed them.
    Played counter strike afterwards for one hour with no problems then played 2 games of pes4, again no problems....

    I did notice that the hd was a little hot though so will look into some cooling solutions.
