Shut down the computer, open the case and clean all the dust out of the fans and heatsink.
Use compressed air and don't touch anything without grounding yourself or you short out your entire system.

ok, my computer is clean. still not working.computer is brand spakin' new.
today reinstalled windows.still not working.
help me
If the computer is new ( how did I miss this) then you have Vista.
That's using the 1 gig of ram.
Lower all the settings until it looks bad, fly in Alaska (it doesn't take too much in resources) and see if it freezes.
If it does well then you need another 1 or 2 gigs of ram, if your board can handle it.

its a custom pc. no hp, dell or any crap. its original. im running windows xp home edition, w/sp2. when I say it freezes, I mean the installation freezes.
It sounded as if it froze during flight not installation.
Defrag, go into "safe mode" and try it there.
