Crash Problem EventViewer ID: 41

Hi guys!
Ok so I built a new pc in January and ever since, it crashes when I play games such as Team Fortress 2, Portal, and sometimes Counter Strike Source but rarely on counter strike source. So I reformatted yesterday To see if that could fix the problem. Sadly it didn't, so I checked for bad memory and it crashes on both of my 2 gig sticks of ram...
So after it crashed I decided to go to event-viewer to see what it says and I get an error id: 41 kernal power.

Specs:
NVIDIA Geforce 9800 GTX +
AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 940 Processor (4CPUs), ~3.0GHz
4096MB Ram

You did say it crashed, right?

Event ID 41 is just an unexpected shutdown, no real info about why.

ok, sorry. Its not really crashing. Within roughly a couple of minutes OF PLAYING it will freeze and loop a short sound. In the next 15 seconds the sound stops and the computer becomes completely unresponsive and has to be physically shut-down

Anyone have any ideas
