Windows 7 - Constant freezes and crashes . . . not sure what to try next

Constant freezes and crashes . . . not sure what to try next

I've been having problems with my computer crashing or just freezing up when I try to watch Hulu or play facebook games full screen. That seems to be the only times it has problems. I've had it crash once while playing WOW, but that was it. Also, not sure if it is related, but even when not playing full screen, facebook games, such as farmville and frontierville, run slow. Wow and other games seem to run smoothly unless there is a high amount of action on the screen.

I've run memtest with no problems and I've made sure all programs and drivers are up to date. Could use some help with what the problem may be. Software or hardware? Thanks.
