Uhm..... more details please? Perhaps your computer is overheating and your fan needs oiling. Turn it off for 20 minutes, then back on and see if it crashes again.

If you told us your system specs and OS we could help you. But I can suggest these:
Run a Virus checker. Do a Googly search for AVG if you do not have one (Its a free one, I use it).
Do a disk defrag. If you don't know what this, look in Accessories -> System Tools.
Update Graphics Card drivers.
Update DirectX/OpenGL.
Update Windows.
If all fail, format.

yes, PC cillin will do fine for scanning.

I would also highly suggest getting a copy of the latest Norton Systemworks.

Even better, go use linux instead.

True, but it rolls antivirus, top of the range system checking, a years worth of all the software updates, lifetime virus definition updates (If I remember correctly), a decent disk defrag, replacement for scandisk, system utilities, recovery, and a generally swish set of tools.

Try:
Update/Reinstall DirectX
Make sure that your cpu fan is going round fast. (Overheating is usually the problem)
Also, If you have a spare graphics card lying around, try putting that in your computer.

P.S Need for speed underground is a wicked game
