it's probably the 9800pro overheating. crysis is very demanding, and will work the card. you can try to replace the 9800pro with a new agp card to squeeze the last of the system, but a complete build is recommended if you want to play recent games well.

The 9800 Pro is just too old for Crysis, it will never run properly. COD4 shouldn't be quite so bad, but will still run badly as the card is ancient.

Yep I agree. A complete freeze where it looks as if you are just viewing a screenshot of the game is usually down to the graphics card being faulty or overheating.
