I have played a game named F.E.A.R on my old computer and it worked fine. I recently got a new computer and every hour or less my computer either freezes and stays frozen or freezes then restarts by itself. Any ideas why this is happening and how i can fix it?

Sounds like something may be overheating, do you have some kind of application that came with the PC that can monitor temperatures?

Also check whether your fan is working properly.

If it's happening at a regular interval like that then it's probably a heat issue as previously stated. In addition to checking your fans take a look at how the air flows through your case. Tie the wires up and out of the way of the fans to increase the air flow. Taking the cover off is usually not advised because the fans are designed to push and pull the air through your case. When you take the cover/side off the air just goes out the side instead of flowing through the way it's supposed to.
