Lock up assessment

I have noticed a lot of topics about games freezing and locking up after a certain amount of time playing, graphic setting change, driver change, and/or update causes game to freeze. I want to organize all these lock up's in one thread and not spread it around the different topics. Cause its really hard to follow.

One post a person. Don't reply to anyone in this thread just yet.

I am asking that anyone having lock ups post them here. Follow these guidelines and in one post only (if you have multiple games please keep it organized and repeat the form below):

What game
Have you defined the issue
What have you tried to to correct the problem
Have you researched online if its a known issue
What drivers: Display, Bios, Audio, Chipset
Have you overclocked anything
Your computer specs

Now I am asking people to put the games they run.

What game(s)
What settings are you using
Is there a certain way you had to do something
What drivers: Display, Bios, Audio, Chipset
Have you overclocked anything (if R2 are you using throttlestop)
Your computer specs

I am trying to assess if there is certain ways we need to approach certain games.

I know its a lot of work. But bump this for great justice. If any of you (who are having problems) were serious about fixing your problems then post whats going on here. I see people saying they can run games that people can't. So lets figure this out.
