Why do games crash on windows 7 laptop

People, the problem is this! I bought the other day new comp: Core i5-3570k 3.4 Ghz, Asus lga1155 p8z77-m z77 4xddr3-2400, Cooler Deepcool ice Edge 400 fs, Dimm memory ddr3 4096MBx2, Vidyuha GeForce GTX 550 Ti 1024MB 192bit GDDR5, Screw SATA-3 1tb, Corsair VS 550W. Already installed 3 different systems, each with full formatting of the disk, naturally pirated, but the workers, with others and with a larger configuration, went; updated and rolled back firewood, tested iron, measured the temperature, everything is ok, only here on all games there is one big problem - it crashes with a crash error, like "I can only close the program, sorry dude" What can be Help pliz, I don’t know maybe in iron what marriage?

In all respects, everything should be "with a bang." To suggest the transition to Piggy is idiocy.
  It seems that the crash occurs when the load increases. Then, most likely, the power supply is to blame - rather weak (it does not seem to give out the promised 550 watts); or a problem in the motherboard (again in the power circuits). Overheating is also suitable, but you claim that you checked it.
  I would check my guesses - I would run resource-intensive tests such as a "shaggy donut", boot from live-cd, run tests again - I would make sure that the system had nothing to do with it. Then I would check with another PSU - either return (oh, I need more power! - usually rolls), or take it from friends). Well, then - according to the results.

By the way, the assembly is strange - a processor for overclocking (with an index k is more expensive than without it, but differs only in an unlocked multiplier), but not a very strong video card; such a processor - even without overclocking - 660 Ti is more suitable

Definitely - test the memory bars.
  Check the cooling of the video card and bridges on the motherboard.
  You start the game - the load on the iron increases and a crash occurs.
  To help you program:
  - Speccy
  www. filehippo. com / download_speccy
  - SpeedFan
  www. filehippo. com / search? q \u003d speedfan
  (remove the spaces)
  Both programs are free.
  P.S. Do not tighten the cooling test. Vidyuhi are practically not repaired and burn for one or two.

Try to put XP, whist or eight. It seems to me that everything will be all right on XP, a couple of games on this OS will really refuse to run at all (for example, Nid For Speed: wounds). And the eight on android is very similar, I can’t get used to it.
  Well, whist is just shit but you can try.

Most likely, there is still not enough power for vidyuhi, although it is strange - a normal 500W PSU for this configuration without strong overclocking is enough. "Normal PSU" is Hipro, Hyper, Aerocool (red and m. B. White, but not black), some Thermal filter, some FSP. What is the Corsair VS 550W not in the know, is it normal or not. Or marriage.
  You can check the RAM with a memt test, if the marriage or glitch - he comes up. If a memory glitch in the memory is detected by a memtest, then the motherboard or even percent is to blame. But it's pretty rare
  Although, there was news that Intel ceased to carefully check its products - so it may well turn out to be - hello, buggy percent! :))
  Or, on the advice of the above, update, although I'm not sure what will help here.

Why do games crash on Windows 10 and how to deal with it? Consider all possible causes and solutions. First of all, you need to remember that the crash of the game and the refusal to launch are two different things. If the game does not start at all, then most likely there are not enough files to run or these files are not working. The reasons for the departure are different.

Most often, multi-player games that require an Internet connection fly out. But such a problem can arise with almost any offline game.

Action algorithm

You should first find out if there are any error messages. Usually, upon departure, the system notifies the user by showing him an error code. In such a situation, it is wise to look for a solution using the error code, or contact the game provider directly. But what if the error cannot be identified?

Causes of problems may include the following:

RAM shortage

Especially often fly modern games on the old hardware. You can make sure that the problem is in the RAM, in the "Processes" tab of the task manager. If there is not enough memory at all, you can close all unnecessary applications and try to start the game again.


Video card out of memory

The problem is especially relevant for older computers. In order to solve it, you will need the DirectX and ATI Catalist Control Center utilities. IN command line  DirectX needs to type dxdiag. In the window that opens, you can see the amount of memory allocated for the video card. To increase it, you need to open the ATI Catalist Control Center, find the field called “UMA Frame Buffer” and increase the set value. These actions may increase system performance, but only slightly.

Overheating and conflict

Often applications crash due to overheating. There are several solutions, and they are all simple. Firstly, you can clean the laptop and check the cooler. If the laptop is quite old and has not been tested before, this will definitely help. In order to play modern demanding games without overheating, it makes sense to purchase a special fan stand. It is inexpensive and effectively cools the case.

Another common reason for a crash is a conflict with an antivirus, Firewal, or firewall. Usually, users who run pirated games on a licensed OS encounter problems. The solution is simple - disable security programs. First, make sure that the pirated version does no harm.


The game may crash in the absence of necessary files  in Microsoft Visual C ++, DirectX, PhysX libraries. To solve the problem, just find out the library version, make sure that all the files in place and the packages are compatible with the system. If something is missing, an update is required.

If all else fails ...

If you can’t solve the problem, you should contact the manufacturer of the game. Departure may occur due to an error not related to those listed above. There can be many reasons for departure, and it can be difficult to find them yourself.

Of course, every user wants and likes when his computer works without interruptions, downloads are fast, and programs run without errors. However, dreams remain dreams, and every day we all have to deal with certain problems. Unfortunately, far from all of them are solved very simply, it even happens that it is difficult for advanced users to solve the problem of what, then, to talk about beginners.

One of the difficult problems to solve, which today is ubiquitous, is when running windows or games spontaneously collapse. This is extremely inconvenient, the user has to do extra work, spend time, and indeed, perform unnecessary gestures. Well, today the topic of the material will be devoted to what to do if games on Windows 7 are minimized, how to fix this misunderstanding?

Task Manager

One of possible reasons  may consist of a misplaced task scheduler. Of course, this does not occur to every user, since this solution to the problem still does not lie on the surface. The fact is that by chance you could set some task and not notice this, or else malware could do so.

Carefully check if any tasks are installed, and if there are any, then make sure that they could not affect your problem in any way. By the way, to find the scheduler, simply open the start menu, and in the search, start typing this word, then click on the active line, after which the program itself will open.

Alternative solutions

As you understand, a clear algorithm of actions regarding what to do if there is no window or window all the time. Therefore, it makes sense to check one or another conjecture, thereby, as close as possible to the solution. Based on my own considerations, I want to offer you several options for solving this problem.

  1. Reinstall operating system. Everything seems to be clear here: reinstall the OS, and with a high degree of probability the problem of involuntary minimization of windows will go away.
  2. Check your computer for viruses. Here, too, without further ado, everything is clear. Use a proven anti-virus, plus additionally scan the system with some kind of healing utility, for example, from Dr.Web.
  3. Go to the Task Manager (Ctrl + Alt + Del) and look for the ouc.exe and TWCU.exe files in the processes. These files are not important to the system and often cause trouble. Perhaps the problem is precisely because of them. Just complete the process with these files and continue to work or play. Please note that if the problem is nevertheless in one of them, then it is better to remove it altogether on the computer or remove the task in the Manager each time.

In principle, all the options are simple, without dancing with a tambourine, but I hope some of them will come in handy and save you from annoying self-folding windows.
