Crashes/Freezes when playing video games

Randomly, when I am playing a video game on my computer, generally ones with higher quality graphics, my computer will freeze or the monitor will go into a sleep-like state, even though it is set not to do so. When it freezes it will usually, after 20 secs or so, goto the desktop and have an error about VPU Recover and something with an error report. When the monitor goes into a sleeplike state I have to restart my computer.

My system specs are
AMD Athlon 64 3200+
512 MB RAM
ATi Radeon 9600 Pro

I am using WinXP Pro.

Anyone have any clue whats going on and how to fix it? Thanks!

I have a Sapphire Atlantis Radeon 9600 Pro 256MB, 2.53GHz P4, and an intel motherboard, and Morrowind kept crashing on me. As soon as I tried to open the boat's hatch at the beginning, my computer completely locked up. I tweaked and tweaked and tweaked until I found something that worked: Switching out of full screen. I don't know WHY that would make a difference, but it did. I hope it'll work for somebody else, too.
