Not enough information for anybody to help. "My car won't start - I topped up the tank with diesel" isn't enough.

You're going to have to tell people the games you're having trouble with and some information about your system.

Edit: If you're running Windows, hit the start button, type dxdiag and hit enter, save all information and attach the output file to a post. That'll give people lots of information about your specific system.

If your games are freezing, you may want to consider updating your drivers if they are not up-to-date. (assuming you are playing on a Windows OS) and see what drivers need updating if it is required i.e.

Also, you can open and check if any drivers are outdated from there as well
