I haven't installed any, no. I can't (with the exception of external) because of a warranty I want to keep.

AVG Free

Do you have a backup hard drive and an OS installation disk handy?
Because I got this computer bought for me, it was bought from a shop. I can reset windows if need be, but I'll need to back everything up first.

How long has the problem being going on?
It's only really become as serious as 5 minutes per game recently, before that I could maybe have up to 3 hours playing a game (Sims 2 comes to mind, building a house and then having my computer shut off ***** me off immensely)

How old is the system (when did you last install windows, or if you haven't, when did you get the computer)?
The *computer* is about 1 and a half years old. I've reset it about 30 times since then down to driver issues but I haven't had to in the last couple of months.
