[Resolved] Why does my computer crash every time I play a game for more than 5 minutes?
Two likely situations come to mind: One likely answer is that you have an issue with heat. A GPU at idle doesn't produce a great deal of heat, and GPUs run very close to idle doing normal computing tasks (email, web browsing, playing videos.) When you start to play a game, you put more load on your GPU and it produces more heat. Heat leads to instability and crashes. Check your system for airflow issues, make sure the fans on your GPU are spinning, clear any dust with canned air. If it isn't heat, the next likely cause that springs to mind is electrical. If you are putting more load on your GPU than your Power Supply can provide in a stable way, it can become a cause of system instability. Make sure your PSU is rated for the load your GPU are putting on the system. Finally, the stock answer: Double check that you're using the most up to date drivers for your GPU. You'd be amazed what a driver update can resolve. If none of those things work, let me know and I'm happy to probe further.
Why does Elsword Online keep crashing on my computer?
Hello Melanie, What browsers do you have? If you have Internet Explorer, try updating it to the latest version if you want to access the website. After you do that,try downloading the lastest version of SuperNode Downloader. (I forgot to mention PLEASE uninstall the game + delete your Elsword account before you do ANY of this). After you get SuperNode,re-install the game (you might need uninstall your Anti-virus and disable your firewall). To uninstall the Anti-virus: 1.Press the start button and click the Control Panel. 2.Go to programs 3.Find where your Anti-virus is,highlight it and click Uninstall. 4.Go through in the installation. To disable the Firewall: 1. Go to the control panel 2. Select system and security on the options 3. Click Windows Firewall option 4. On the left side you should be able to see an option that says “Turn Windows Firewall On or Off” 5. Click Off on the options and restart your computer. If you encounter FURTHER issues just shut SuperNode off via the Windows Control Panel and flush your DNS Cache: 1. Start -> Run -> type cmd 2. In command prompt type ipconfig /flushdns I hope this helped you (YES i have crashed in Elsword before but this is how I fixed it)! -Kalie Sanchez (Still crashing? Email me: kalie_sanchez@yahoo.com

Why does roller coaster tycoon 2 keep crashing on my computer?
I have roller coaster tycoon 2 on my computer, and whenever I run it, It plays fine for 5-10 minutes, and then just freezes. I can still hear the game noises, such as the ambient crowds, and the sound of the merry-go-round. When the game freezes, I just turn off my computer via the button, and then restart, and attempt again, with the same result. Is there anything I can do?
Why is my laptop shutting down every time I Play a game?
See the reason for this is definitely not your battery being dead. When a normal battery gets fully charged, the computer automatically makes the connection direct. This is just happening all the time in your case.One problem can be that your Graphics memory is going out of range else your RAM is going out of range. This can be confirmed if you see a blue screen showing memory dump.The second reason can be overheating. You said you have a Dell laptop. So, when you start your system, go to the Dell System test and do a stress test. Then you'll know what is the max level of heat your laptop is reaching. If it goes over 95 degree C, you must contact Dell.I don't see any third reason behind this.

Steam games keep crashing after 5-10 minutes of play. How do I stop this?
Same as Ian Schmidt, my first thought was cooling.Check/double-check that your CPU/GPU/Case fans are freely spinning and free of dust. If you’ve done this and all seems well:Download and install a tool like: Open Hardware Monitor Some motherboard manufacturers may provide their own tools for monitoring temperatures that graphically depict the motherboard with temps overlaid over the proper location of each temperature probe. But:Open Hardware Monitor allows logging/graphing of temperatures/fan-speeds. Run it for a while before starting a game, start the game, then watch the graph after it crashes.This is a graph which shows temperatures (in degrees Celsius) of CPU (Yellow/Bottom), Motherboard (Green and Red / Middle) and GPU (Brown/Top):X axis is time, with 0:00 (current time) at the far-right.The first ~10 minutes is flat for GPU and a bit erratic for CPU, this is a (relatively speeaking) baseline, internet browsing with a few Chrome windows, a few editor windows, an email client, and VLC running.At 0:06ish ago I started Rise of the Tomb Raider which raised the temperature a few degrees.Then at 0:05ish ago I started the in-game benchmark that flies through various scenes, taxing the GPU/CPU. Raising the GPU temp from ~50C to just over 70C. When it had finished, at around 0:02ish ago, I exited out of the game.As you can see, CPU temps do increase, but not by nearly as much as the GPU, compared to the baseline.Aside:GPUs tend to (as I understand it) have a much higher upper-bound on the temperature range they can handle, so 70–80C or even 90C isn’t too worrying.The temperature of your CPU should ideally be <50–55C. If it’s at that temp for long periods or even spiking higher than that, I’d want to upgrade the cooler.If your CPU temp is high (50–55C) before you even start the game, you should definitely think about getting a better cooler.Here is the aftermath of that benchmark run. You can see how the GPU temperature drops quite precipitously just as soon as the benchmark ended/game quit:
Why does roblox keep crashing?
THIS IS HOW I FIXED ITOkay, first you want to be familiar with AppData. (If you want, it's easier)You go to your C:\Users\YOUR ACCOUNT'S NAME\AppData\LocalThe problem here is well, idk. But what you need to do is scroll down until you find "Roblox" in the folder list. Rename/delete (Rename is recommended in case this isn't the solution) to anything other than "Roblox"Then all you need to do is click play on any place and it will update Roblox for you.Lol, it took me forever to find this out. I tried deleting some files, and was thinking most games update themselves if they're missing something, and this is one of them.
My Sims 3 application keeps closing when I start the game. I need some tech help!?
Go into your Sims3 folder. I'm not use to Mac computers so I'm going to wing it here. But I'm pretty sure I know what the problem is. You have to find the Sims3 folder with the accessory.cache and groups.cache files in it. On Windows, it's in the documents folder under EAGames and then in the Sims3 folder. Close the game, make sure it's not running in "processes". I don't know if Mac has that. You have to delete any file with the .cache at the end. Don't worry, they'll recreate themselves whenever you play the game. After you delete those files, close the Sims3 folder and try restarting the game. It should start up now.
