i'd go with a regular hardware failure, probably mobo

check your capacitors (rusty, leaking, bloated)

allright, i finally fixed this problem. it turned out that my harddiskdrive was overheating with temps up to 56 degrees celcius. a silmple 1 buck harddiskdrive cooler fixed it for me.

thanks again for the info guys.

You can test for overheating issues by opening your case and putting a large fan (12"+) blowing into it. Play and track the time it takes to CTD.
It's fairly easy to 'mod' your case for extra fans. All you need is:
Elc. drill
1/4 drill bit
3" bi-metal cup bit
some extra fans cheep from some place like
Computer geeks or Newegg
One across from your video card blowing in and maybe one on top of the case blowing out.

Good luck
