Use the free utility for getting all your system information :
Everest Home Edition
This will help you provide any information asked for in this thread. Since this is a new PC, you might want to setup your BIOS or just go into the BIOS and load the "Safe" default values and see if it still has problems. Possibly a little tweaking or driver/BIOS update may get you going, but will need more information. Hope you have a good power supply installed if you like gaming a lot. Graphics card seems ok, just not my preference.
A lot of instant PC freezing is done because an app tried to use the same memory as where other apps running are using (cursor, etc.) or there was an IRQ conflict.
Good luck.

Haven't checked into your problem in depth yet, but you might want to read the problems some programs are having with Win XP and SP2 :
2000 apps clash with XP SP2
windows xp compatibility issues
Running Programs in Compatibility Mode Tips! Part way down page.
Programs that are known to experience a loss of functionality when they run on a Windows XP Service Pack 2-based computer
Hope these will help until someone comes along with a specific solution.
