Mac Crashes when Playing Games
The Mac described below sometimes completely freezes, requiring a restart (but not getting a grey screen) when playing CPU-intensive games. It starts to lag badly, then the screen gets messed up (windows leave trails), then eventually the entire computer freezes. The reason I say "games" is because this has never happened in Final Cut Express or anything, but this problem started recently (a month ago) after I upgraded to 10.5.8 so it might not be just for games.
It seems to crash rarely (once every one or two weeks) but in the past few days it has been worse (it crashed three times today). My guess is that it's an OS issue, so I put it under the Leopard forum. I know that this can be complicated to fix, but does anyone know if this is a known issue?
P.S. The apps it has crashed so far on: Age of Empires II, Phun, Super TuxKart, Minecraft, X-Plane
