Games crashing could be caused by a number of reasons. It could be hardware instability including overheating, issues with drivers, or simply buggy
software.
1. You should first update the game you are playing (if any updates are available) as well as Windows.
2. If that doesn't work, then update video and sound drivers. Video drivers can be found on the website for your graphics card (in this case nvidia),
just let it auto-detect. Sound drivers can usually be found on the webpage for your motherboard. It's usually best to remove the old drivers before
installing the new ones.
3. If that still doesn't work then check the temperatures of the computer, your best bet is by opening a program like HWiNFO or HWMONITOR and running
that in the background while you game. At the end post a picture of the screenshot, here is an example from my computer:
i.imgur.com... (just look at the hwinfo window for an example, note how it has min max current values)
(Core i5-3570K overclocked to 4.4 GHz, 16 GB DDR3-1866, GTX 570 OC)
4. If that still doesn't work in diagnosing the problem, run stress tests like furmark, prime95, and memtest to figure out what in particular is
wrong. Best get someone who is good with computers to do this.
