Could be overheating. What kind of cooling do you have on the processor? I suggest you start by opening the case and checking all the cables.
Make sure all the fans are running. If its still doing it you should either get a new Heat sink for your CPU or go and buy some thermal grease to put between the heat sink and the CPU.

I mean went into the case and cleaned out all the dust and whatever else might have gotten in there.
Also what kind of AV program are you running?

Id recommend you download AVG or Avast and scan for viruses.
Also get a spyware removal program like S&D.
Hijackthis is good too.

Well if its happening in CoD its probably not silkroad its most likely an over heating problem.
When you go into silk road I would suggest lowering your settings so it doesnt put so much strain on your system.
If you really wanna crank things up you should get yourself a new heat sink for your CPU.
Seems SRO causes over heating problems for alot of people
Do you play with your graphics maxed out?

yes i do, but i doesn't happen when i play counter strike, battlefield or other games.
and i have tested to put setting on lowest..but its still the same.
its just freeze for 2-3 seconds and then it restarts..
and i have checked the teperature and its not even close to get high.
so i don't think thats the problem.
thx for your help.
