Wtf is going on with my old PC?

[Jeff The Ninja]

Ok, A few months ago a friend of my brothers looked at my computer and had to wipe my harddrive. It was nothing major because I could just get it all back later. But now whenever I try to Run certain programs, like Max Payne, my computer restarts/crashes for no reason. I dont know why because I was able to play it before with no problem. That is just a few of the many problems with my computer.

-My computer fan Doesnt work

-CD-Rom Drive asks to format the disk before using?

-And others I havent found yet




Does anybody here know what is happening. I think that the Crashes are being caused by the computer overheating. Or it could be a Graphics card problem because whenever I try to Run Half-Life in Direct X Video Mode, it crashes. And I have installed the drivers about 5 times to no avail.
