I'm not really sure, but I bet you are running the 32bit of windows xp so the intel cpu should be backwards compatible with 32 bit programs as well. If you are on xp x64bit then theres a diffrent stroy, but I highly doubt gateway is shipping pc's with 64bit OS's. I would really say to format your hard drive with a fresh install of windows xp, not the install gateway supplied. That's the first thing I tell everyone that got a computer with a pre-loaded OS. If you don't have a copy of windows xp, you can get it at newegg.com for like $140. You probably don't want to spend another $140 but an actual windows cd is never a bad idea if you dont have one.

Does it only happen in BHD/TS? Have you tried any other games?

Does the computer just reboot or does it freeze? Does it get really bright and disorted before either of these?
