My old GTX 560 has failed, so I'm using just my i5-4670k solo until I get it replaced. Whenever I try to load a PC game, my entire system will freeze up and require a hard reboot. Is it actually impossible to do anything gaming related or is there something I need to do to get games working? I realize I'm restricted to the last decade or so with no card, but testing TF2 & Thief: Deadly Shadows both led to freezing. Either when I change the resolution to my native 1920*1080, or when I enter a server (TF2).

Thanks, uninstalled nVidia drivers completely and re-installed the latest Intel ones.
Sadly, the problem remained, but for the benefit of anyone who Google's this in the future, I fixed the issue by flashing the latest BIOS for my motherboard (suggested by someone on a Intel message board from a few years ago).
I'll be stuck with older games for the moment, but I was luckily planning on getting a 970 next month, so no big deal. Cheers.
