Computer freezes during games

When I run games that are CPU intensive, after about 10
minutes or so the computer freezes up. Keyboard and
mouse stop responding and the screen freezes with its
current image and the sound sounds like a broken record.
I thought it was just a heat problem - so I bought a
better heatsink and yet and I am still getting similar
problems when I run games such as Half Life, Warcraft 3
and Homeworld.

Is this a WinXP / software problem or a hardware problem?
