Piece of shit computer.. (locking up problem)

Ok, so I tried logging on to Everquest, and I got the character select screen, but like every second, for like 5-6 seconds or longer, it locks up... So I restart my computer and try again. I log into the game, and it ends up restarting my computer automatically.

So, just for safe measures I restart it again, and try loading up Battlefield: Vietnam. I load up a server, and it instantly locks up... restart again, and shut down.

I take out my 256 stick of RAM, and try it again.. same problem, so I take out my 512 and put the 256 back in, as well as make sure the fan to my graphics card is clean just in case it's overheating.... Same problem.

Everything else works fine. I've been able to play Ultima Online (very non memory or graphics intensive), and can play music, surf the internet, do just about anything except play high end games... I could play them FINE a week ago, but suddenly today they're fucking up.

What the fuck is wrong with it?

OS: Win XP Home
Processor: 1.6 GHz P4
Graphics: Geforce 4 Ti4200
RAM: Obviously, 768 DDR RAM (a 256 and 512)
