[Solved] Why cant windows 7 play pc games without crashing?

I have windows 7 64 bit on an asus computer with a processor of intel core 2 quad and when i had windows vista, i could play my downloaded games with ease. However, everytime i try to play it now, the screen either blacks out and restarts or the blue screen pops up. I dont know why this is happening. Any suggestions?

How can i update my video drivers?

Go into the device manager and expand Display Adapters. List any devices shown in that section so we can tell you what drivers to install.

With regards to the dump files, go to C:\Windows\minidump and add any .dmp files into a zip archive and upload it to something like MegaUpload. Post the link here so we can download and analyze the dumps to determine the error codes, and ultimately the cause, of your bluescreening issue.

There's really no other way to explain it. Upload the zip file (once you are able to create it) to a site like MegaUpload. It will give you a link to the file you uploaded. Paste that link here so we can get the dump files to analyze them.

I do find it strange that you can't access the dumps though. Right click on the Minidump folder and go to Properties. Go to the Security tab and click the Advanced button. Select the Owner tab, and click the Change button. Click Edit, select your account and click Apply.

For your video driver, download the latest one from www.nvidia.com.

Hmmm.... memory leak from an installed application?

Look in the Processes tab of the Task Manager for anything using an unusually high amount of ram.

64bit versions of apps typically take up a hair bit *more* memory but can allocate more if needed. Obviously 130MB is already too much, so going 64bit won't help.

I've always seen firefox use 130MB-500MB of memory, but that was with older versions. I use Chrome now.

Oh, in that case i do not have a memory leak. I performed a memory diagnostic and it found no problems. I think it might have been with the video drivers. However, my computer has frozen once after downloading the video driver so I am still not entirely sure what the problem is. Is there any other way for me to prevent blue screen and freezing problems?

as you can see, im a complete newbie to this kind of stuff so whatever you just said made no sense to me haha

Everybody knows how to use google, so:

google, gpuz and cpuz, download and install them both, then post here what all the information found on the first screen's of them app's.

Next in cpuz, click on the motherboard/mainboard tab and post here your motherboard spec.

OR

Google: Hardware ID or Belarc hardware advisor, download and install.

Post here your spec's in full.

I am also having a win 7 32-bit but cant even play any game in this new win 7 everygame crashes, video drivers all the other software are updated

Please update
