So I built my new computer last week and I've been having some issues getting games to run. Essentially any game I try gives me the same error when I try and run the installer: "Setup.exe has stopped working"

I've tried Oblivion, Thief: Deadly Shadows, Bioshock, World in Conflict, Civ 4 and some others and I keep getting the exact same error.

I did get Company of Heroes and the Bioshock demo off of Steam to install. Those start up okay, go through the dev, producer, etc. screens and then crash as soon as it gets to the main menu. It gives me a quick blue screen and then restarts the computer.

I can try and get some pictures of the error if would help.

Oh, and my computer specs:
Q6600
8800 GT
ASUS P5K-E
Vista 64-bit
4GB RAM
