Sorry if its the wrong category, dont know where to ask this.

So im trying to fix up my old computer and give it away, but whenever i open something more demanding like a game my computer either freezes or goes to blue screen. What could be the reason? Im thinking its either cpu or gpu fault. The temperatures never get over 50c on both cpu and gpu. Thanks

As said above, it could be an issue with RAM, in which when something demanding opens up, it is more demanding on the RAM and perhaps a certain region of a stick of RAM is faulty. Another issue may be that you are opening something too intensive for your current specs (though I doubt it). Run a memory test as he said above and see what it shows.
