I have recently bought DELL Optiples 390 mini tower. Core i7 2600, 4GB RAM, GTX 1050ti 4GB using Win 7 64bit. Bcz in Windows 10 card driver does not install says driver is not compatible to this version of windows so i switched to win 7. During playing any game, my PC freezes at any spot and then nothing happens, cant open task mgr nothing complete freeze. Then I shut down my PC by pressing power button. What should I do?
 
Solution
Found the solution. My cousin told me that it was happened with him so he searched and found solution in a forum. The frequency from power management was high. He lowered the frequency and and worked great. Never freezed again. But unfortunately I replaced my PC when he told me that.

But this could be helpful for those who face same problem.

When i first turned on my pc, it doesn't have any OS. So i installed 10 via DvD. I tried to install graphic card driver from given cd, but gives error that this driver is not compatible with this version of windows. After doing some windows updates including nvidia display driver, nothing happened same error so i reinstalled windows 7 fresh. Driver in given cd installed ok. But games were freezing at any spot. I dont know why, so i am installing 10 fresh again and updating it from windows update. Hope driver installs ok. What u say am i doing right? Or any other quick solution?
 
"I tried to install graphic card driver from given cd, but gives error that this driver is not compatible with this version of windows"

Well that's plain enough, the driver you were trying to install either wasn't for Windows 10, or it was a 32-bit driver and you were trying to install on 64-bit Windows (or vice-versa).

That should be fairly easy to sort out. Make sure you only try to install drivers that are designed for the version of Windows you're using.

You seem to have a strange way of dealing with driver problems. Driver installer says it's the wrong one for your Windows version, but instead of getting the correct driver you changed the operating system instead - - :/

My problem has been solved. I visited many forums, majority said update Windows 10 as GTX 1050ti's driver won't install on old builds. Need 15000+ build. My build was 12000 something. So I downloaded Windows 10 15063 build and installed fresh copy. Now driver installed correctly.

Driver gives this error even if the Window or architecture matches. Now solve my other problem that games freezes at any spot during gameplays. Computer freezes completely, Task mgr won't opens. Nothing happens. Then I force PC to shutdown by pressing power button. Why is it happening? Is this the matter of low RAM?
My Specs:
DELL Optiplex 390
Core i7 2600 3.40GHz
4GB RAM
250GB HDD
GTX 1050ti 4GB

MERGED QUESTION
Question from Syed Najabat Kamal : "Games are freezing at any spot"



No it isn't ram but i would suggest you get higher ram. it is either a virus or you don't have your drivers up to date.
