Onboard video is usually too weak to run 3D games, for that you need a discrete graphics card.
Might want to test your memory with Memtest while you are waiting to see if using the onboard video will solve the problem.

Edge- I already ran Memtest a couple days ago and memory checked out okay, no errors. Perhaps i should run it again? Not having any luck finding the stress.txt log, i even ran a search for it but couldnt find anything. Ya i know DOD's to blame on the crash i had recently, obviously from trying to run it with on board video but its ironic on what happened.
I was running DOD with on board video and my computer all of a sudden re-booted, upon rebooting it hung again. So that through me off cuz if it is my video card then the problem just appeared to happen again. Or was it just some type of coincidence from the crash..? Well ever since that happened i havent touched DOD and rebooted about 12 times and havent had a problem PLUS, I ran Prime95 twice already for 8 hours and now its testing clean ever since i took my video card out. so im not sure whats going on..but im already ordering a video card from new egg if anyone's curious:

Try inserting the old video card back in, and running Prime95 again. This will confirm the issue as being the video card.

Prime95 ftw
HAW! well see, hopefully. Got my fingerz crossed. Gonna slap in my graphics card again and run Prime95, if it comes back with an error gotta be the graphics card like Edge suggested. Ill try as soon as i get home, ill post back probably round 11 pm PST. Either way i was gonna upgrade my graphics card anyway since im gonna be working with HD video now especially. Cant go wrong with a $20.00 Graphics card thats got a core clock of 650MHZ, 82 Stream Processors and 512MB of memory. Almost sounds too good to be true. Should have the new graphics card by tomorrow, il let you guys know how it runs.
