Lately, when I play games for about 15-30 minutes, my screen shuts off and my computer freezes. Occasionally the sound will loop or it will keep playing sounds with no response.

This has only been happening the past few days and I can't figure it out.

Can anyone help me?

I'd say either overheating of the GPU, or a DirectX issue since sound is affected as well. Try reinstalling DirectX. Did you look in the Event Log for anything suspicious?

Between the time I started the game and the time my computer crashed, I got these errors.

Fanio.sys is the the Fan I/O driver. It wasn't loaded, so maybe it caused overheating. I'm still reading.

No ideas at all? It just randomly up and started crashing like this whenever I play games.
