From looking at your system specs, i can see that you have a very underpowered 300 W PSU. 300 W is not enough to drive a NVIDIA GTX 460 card, It's no wonder your system freezes everytime you try run any games.
I recommend that you replace your PSU with another one that can provide your system with a minimum wattage of 550 - 600 W.
Something like these power supplies perhaps.
